Can the name of a tenant who is in arrears be disclosed to the Board of a housing management body?
• The name could be disclosed for the purpose of assisting with the collection of a debt owing to the housing management body (section 40(1)(k)) or for the purpose of determining continuing eligibility for housing (if maintaining an account in good standing is a requirement for eligibility for housing) (section 40(1)(l)). Also, if the disclosure of this information was necessary for the performance of the duties of a board member, the name could be disclosed under section 40(1)(h).
