About Event

Landlords and property managers routinely collect sensitive tenant information — government-issued ID, bank statements, credit reports, SINs — but how many of us are truly aware of our legal and fiduciary responsibilities when it comes to storing that data?

What happens if your computer is hacked?
Are you liable if that info is leaked?
What does the law say about your duty to protect it?

Join us for an eye-opening session with Bita Di Lisi, where she’ll break down:

🔐 What exactly is considered private/sensitive tenant data
🛡️ The landlord/property manager's legal duty under PIPEDA and Ontario privacy standards
💻 Common mistakes (like saving files on unencrypted devices or emailing credit reports without consent)
⚠️ What happens if there’s a breach — including potential lawsuits, tribunal rulings, and fines
✅ How to store, share, and destroy tenant data safely and legally

This session is a must-attend for any landlord or property manager who screens tenants or keeps tenant files.
