Demand of USA Pasport by the landlord son is for some ulterior motives. I would suggest you not to give in to this tactics and pressure. if he files a suit for possession /eviction against you, he would be aware that it would take some years for him to get the property back from you. So relax ,dont give in .

As a matter of caution, every land lord would ask passport copy of foreign nations or passport holder. Any one would do the same. So there is no ulterior motive as i see. If no problem then can give a copy to original landlord i.e. mother and not son.

And if you do not want, to then, simply deny that you dont want to. And face what ever consequences.
