I stumbled on this news and started wondering if it’s legal. It seems to me it shouldn’t, since it’s pretty much doxing. But I don’t know at all.

    I wonder if the information can be publicly posted according to lease contract. I see the value of avoiding bad landlords/tenants, but the privacy concern is horrific.

    Imagine if pharmacies started rating bad customers, hospital publishing lists of bad patients, teachers posting lists of bad students. It would be a complete social disaster and stop a lot of people from receiving access to basic necessities because providers did not want to take a risk on some unrated or that received a bad first/second rating (which is completely subjective).

      The article clearly states that the reports must be supported by documents from the TLB. Those records are public.
