Full tweet: "A friend is renting a house and the application requires connecting your bank account (via login) to pull 90 days of purchases and balances.

Seems really invasive for a rental or any purchase for that matter.

Is this really becoming a new standard?"

I rented a place and they wanted something like this (for proof of income, not purchases). I said "hard no" and had to give them 3 pay stubs.

what was also annoying to me was the package room. They had a company that managed the package room, and you couldn't get packages without signing up and agreeing to the (non-)privacy policy where they could take pictures and videos of you. you would have to use your phone to access the package room.

(the company was luxerone.com)

If they had phone access for apartment door locks, I wouldn't have rented.
