Tenants and landlords might not always be on the same page when it comes to privacy rights.
Privacy Commissioner Michael Webster's reminding tenants they legally don't have to disclose their personal information to find a flat.
He says it can be tempting for landlords to collect this information when considering applications.
Auckland Property Investors Association's Sarina Gibbon told Francesca Rudkin the rules are pretty clear, but having separate documents for tenants and landlords could be part of the problem.
She says the language and the approach are very different, which could end up setting very different expectations.
