It is important to ensure that prospective tenants are protected against inappropriate and unreasonable information requests that may discriminate and invade their privacy.

It is important that restrictions are set on the amount of information that a landlord or agent can request from a prospective tenant.

The practice of collecting tenants’ personal information extends beyond reasonable and can be at times very invasive.

Given the potential for data breaches, it is vital prospective tenants are not forced to give information that may breach security and safety concerns.
