I'm a tenant of 20 years good standing but was recently contacted for my NI number.
They mentioned that as I get some benefits which will switch to universal credit eventually, they naticipate so me late payment issues. It seems that if the have your NI and you fall in to arrears, they can use itt to get an 'attachment of earnings order' and get a slice of your benefit money.
As there are issues with UC, landlords will often be paid late but they will be paid so I see no good reason for them to pester long standing tenants with a good payment history but this is why they want your NI number.

Apologies, this is also an issue with residential landlords which is what I assumed from the thread title.
