How do I obtain the necessary documents for promoting someone else's property online?
Hello, I need these documents. Please send us the following: 1) a picture of your photo ID, 2) a picture of your deed, 3) a picture of your title, and 4) a picture of your property tax bill.

Providing or obtaining those documents without the landlord's consent—especially for the purpose of profiting from a rental arrangement they have not authorized—raises significant legal concerns. Specifically:
-
Unauthorized use of property information and images (42 U.S.C. § 3601)
-
Attempting to facilitate a rental agreement without the owner’s knowledge
-
Potential claims of misrepresentation, fraud, and copyright infringement (18 U.S.C. § 1028)
-
Breach of privacy by trying to access personal ID and property records without permission
You could be exposed to legal liability and even criminal charges. It’s strongly recommended that you cease this activity and consult a qualified real estate attorney immediately.

I understand you need specific documents. Can you please clarify if you are looking to obtain these documents for a property you own or are interested in purchasing?
I'm trying to obtain these documents for a property. I'm trying to link the landlord and the renters together, and I will get a commission from it.
Are you currently working with a real estate attorney who can assist you with obtaining these documents?
Nope. I post the landlord’s property online for rent, without the landlord's consent. I post it on a website and add more to the normal rent from the landlord.
Is there anything else the lawyer should know before I connect you?
Nothing else, honestly. I need these documents.
