Are landlords allowed to ask for a copy of ID and banking info?

So im looking at renting a basement suite, and the landlord is asking for a copy of my id through text, and screenshots/timesheets/statements of my banking information.

Is this allowed? I can’t find much about it online without calling, which I can’t access today because of a weekend but I need it today.

Are they allowed to ask for a copy of such? Or even if I do, do I block out certain info from my id? I’m also self employed and run off of cash so I don’t have entirely proof of income on my end unfortunately.

Sincerely a 18 year old girl that’s learning how to adult

Red Deer Car Break-Ins

Was staying at the Holiday Inn Express on Gaetz Thursday night. I was woken up at 4:45am by the front desk because two wastes of skin were busting windows and breaking into cars. Luckily, I forgot to lock my truck and nothing of crazy value was in there. Just a gym bag with sweaty gym clothes and a cup of change... maybe two bucks? But either way. To these guys I say:

I hope you have to step on legos for the rest of your life.

I hope when you go to sleep there is no cold side of the pillow.

I hope you stub your toe every minute of every day forever.

I hope that when you eat popcorn there is a husk that will never get un-stuck from your teeth.

You stole a gym bag and about two bucks of change. Enjoy my sweaty gym clothes you worthless desperate scumbags.

Kolbs and Big Bend Market were a few that I found so far (for meats). How are these guys? Any other good ones?

Medium/priests

I need a medium/priest to come in my house as I have 1 or more spirits in my apartment. From tapping on the walls to shadowy figures through the shower curtains, to hearing growling or scratching at times, etc. Even now its starting to affect my tv and open my closet door when i close it. It's been bothering me alot and I can't take it anymore. I try my best to ignore it and not give it energy but it always does something new that gets to me. Please help, I need reccomendations/referrals to either one of the two or both.

Classic Truck

Hello!

I’m looking for a mechanic that would specialize in old school vehicles. I’ve got an 86 Chevy Squarebody, looking to get a heater installed, the fuel gauge working, and a stall converter (to start).

I’d also like someone with knowledge around what size rims/tires would fit based on how much it is already lowered.

Thanks in advance.

Easy Elective Recommendations at Red Deer Polytechnic?

I'm a first-year Open Studies student at Red Deer Polytechnic, and I'm looking to adjust my schedule. I'm hoping to add an easy elective that can act as a GPA booster. Any recommendations for courses that are manageable and don't have a heavy workload?

Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know of a repair person who will fix the motherboard in a sewing machine? Willing to travel for it.

Its a Bernina 1130 from the 80's. Replacement parts are not longer made, so looking for either someone who specifically repairs machines like this, or someone who has the skills and knows they can do it. I have the repair manuals but it is way beyond my skillset. It's a very loved machine, so looking for the best.

Baritone saxophone players I need your help!!!!

I just got a new mouthpiece for my Bari sax. It's phenomenal and gorgeous. It's the Jody Jazz super jet 6. I've just made this new jump from the stock piece. I was hoping to buy 1 Reed of any kind from people so I can try out new reeds without wasting money on a whole box from the music store.

The Reed I am using now is not the right tool for this job. Currently the Rico 3 for big band sound.

Would anyone happen to have any kind of 2 or 2.5 strength I can buy to try ? Preferably manufactured for a jazz sound? I would like to purchase 1 of any kind I can get before I decide to commit and buy a full box.

Thanks everyone.

Know Any Holiday Donations or Support Resources? Please Share!

Hey all,

We're getting closer to the holidays, and I'm thinking it would be nice to get some resources together for those less fortunate, as well as info on who's taking donations.

If you know of any local organizations, shelters, food banks, or charities that are accepting donations (money, food, clothing, toys, books, etc.), please share their details below! Bonus points if they have specific needs or deadlines to keep in mind.

Additionally, if there are places offering support for individuals or families during the holidays, like free meals, gift drives, or other services, please let me know.

Once I gather enough information, I'll create a pinned post to keep these resources easy to find and accessible for everyone.

Thanks in advance for helping to spread kindness this holiday season!
