| A legal/moral question 14:58 - Aug 17 with 1003 views | SWGF |
Mr A is a landlord and rented his property to Mr B. All very amicable, no issues during the tenancy period, everything always paid on time. Mr B left as he needed a larger property so Mr A has now started renting to Mr C.
Mr C had a knock on the door from the bailiffs looking for Mr B, chasing payment for something or another. Mr C gave Mr A's details to the bailiff and now the bailiff wants Mr B's new address from Mr A.
Should Mr A provide this to the bailiffs? Is Mr A allowed to provide that data under GDPR and all that balls? |  |

If Mr B is a mate and you don't want to help the bailiffs, I doubt there is anything they can do.
'Sorry, he didnt give me a forwarding address.' |  |

If Mr B is no longer at the address then it's no longer Mr A's concern. I don't think giving out people's details to anybody is legal or wise, regardless of whether the bailiffs can prove who they are. Of course they're going to ask Mr A because it makes their job easier.
As long as he's told the bailiffs that Mr B is no longer a tenant then the bailiffs should note this on their records and not bother Mr A again. Mr A should make this clear to them. |  |

Found this on the RLA website:
https://www.rla.org.uk/landlord/guides/data-protection-legislation-for-landlords
Legitimate interests pursued by the data controller or a third party can be used as the lawful basis provided they are mentioned in the privacy notice provided to the data subject. Examples of this include:
passing the names of new tenants to utility companies
seeing references which were provided to letting/managing agents
disclosing details of a tenant who has left leaving rent arrears to a tracing agent or debt collector to help them recover money owed
Data Subject is Mr.B - if Mr.A’s privacy notice doesn’t mention it, then Mr.B stays hidden.
That said... it mentions rent arrears so feel free to ignore! [Post edited 17 Aug 2018 15:12]

Would you help one of your mate trying to get out of paying his debts then? |  |

That will probably leave the rental property on the credit blacklist, which could in turn affect rental income. |  |

Just seemed a bit odd considering his posting history I assumed he would be for people taking responsibility. | |
