Can a landlord look at my Facebook?

Question

Accepted Answer

Not all information on the internet is ‘publicly available’. An example could be what you’ve shared with a restricted audience on social media (like your friends on Facebook, or private followers on instagram). Because the circumstances surrounding your release of information are important, you should check your privacy settings on your social media.
Because your landlord cannot collect information in an intrusive manner, it will not be okay for them to --
* Ask you for your social media *login* details;
* Ask to be your friend or follower on social media so they can check you out; or,
* Ask one of your existing followers or friends to show them your account.
Your landlord cannot disclose your information if it would be unfair to do so. This applies even if the information is public.
