I don't think that it is legally but I would not be happy if I was the owner or renter. How did they find out what the amount is? When I turn my leases in to the HOA, I white out the rental amount from their copy. |

| i believe donna is correct. not likely illegal to do it, but it isn't necessary, and is lazy business habit. |

| Dear Mikey: Re According to the Select Comm on HOAs of 2007 it is not an invasion of privacy. They even state that. In very clear terms |

LaverneB,
Legal or not it would be a big deal to me. It is nobody's business except for the owner and renter. Some years I rented a condo on the water in So. Fla and got a very good deal since the owners were out of the country and felt I would be a good tenant. Some of the owners there looked down their noses at renters and their knowing I was paying a low monthly rental amount would just might make them think I was poverty stricken. By the way, the couple who owned the entire floor of the penthouse didn't feel they were any better than renters. It was the wannabes on the first or second floor who needed to feel surperior. |

And then we have the Invasion Of Privacy issue. You know folks, there are times when it just isn't anyones business because it does not harm them or benefit them. Why should anyone else know how much my tenant pays for rent. Even the Board has no need for that info. Don't forget, I was a Board member and I saw nor do I see the need for this info to be public knowledge.
On short term leases in my former County, all rentals paid a tax on the short term lease. Did the County need to know how much the rent was? Absolutely they did. Did the Board need to know? Absolutely NOT. |

| I certainly agree with Donna! The BOD certainly has no need to know how much rent a property owner is collecting. However, if the board is given this info -- unsolicited I hope!-- they certainly should keep it confidential. |

| If the issue was established as a privacy issue (which at some point it could be in at least some states), then the person releasing the information would be responsible. Thus the landlord should protect themselves by redacting the rental amount from the contract when turning it into the HOA or Condo Board. |

| If a condo can require a deed, then why would it be any worse/different to require a lease? What's the difference between knowing how much someone has paid for a property VS the rental amount? |

Karen,
Requireing a lease is not the arguement here. The rent amount is what I argue is no business of the Board unless they are the lease holder. |

| I don't know about other states, but in Texas a deed rarely has the purchase price on it. In most cases where a price is included it is insanely low and says something like "...for the sum of $100 and other considerations...." MLS has a very close approximation of what a house sold for, but even that is not always exact. In general, it is considered few people's business what I paid for my house. |
