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.


​🎟 Free for DLA members
