No, you do not need to apply for an EIN to report the rental income.
No, in your situation, you will not need to issue a 1099 for the work you had done on your residential rental.
There is a little bit of controversy on this subject, but the bottom line is that only Business Owners are required to obtain a W-9 from their sub-contractors (W-9 is a form where the sub-contractor gives the contractor their EIN) and then file a 1099-NEC for payments made over the filing threshold.
IF the rental is reported as a business, such as Commercial Rentals, this requirement would be in force, but as passive income reported on Schedule E, there is no such requirement.
