<prompt> Human: I made a post here about a month ago asking advice about moving in with my partner. We sent in all the requested information: 6 months of bank statements, pay stubs, our SS , tax returns, etc. I sent it priority mail via USPS. One day shipping with a tracking number. I screwed up in not requiring a signature. Something I am continually kicking myself for. We e-mailed our contact at the Realty Company for days before she finally responded and said they had received our paperwork. THREE WEEKS LATER she e-mails back saying they actually never received our information and she got it confused with a different residents info. I cant believe that it took her nearly a month to inform us our documents were missing. Shes seemed really non-chalant about the whole thing while asking us to get the info to her again because the paperwork needs to be in soon. A few days ago she claimed they were doing an extensive search in the filing cabinets to find our folder on Monday. We received no call from her yesterday. E-mailed her again last night and requested her title in the company and the title and contact info of her immediate superior. The companys website is just open apartment listings along with a single phone number and e-mail. What can we do to mitigate a potential identity theft situation? If something was to happen, could the realty company be liable for gross negligence or any of the damages this could potentially inflict on us? What the hell do we do next?  <response>: Nothing to add, but wow, NYC sucks for renters.
