NYC Enacts Law Protecting Tenant Data Privacy | Practical Law
The New York City Council passed the Tenant Data Privacy Act (TDPA) requiring multi-family landlords to protect the information it obtains from tenants using smart access (keyless entry) systems to enter their apartments or building common areas. The TDPA will limit how landlords can collect, use, retain, and disclose tenant data obtained from smart access systems. Landlords must obtain tenant consent to use smart technology for access and provide tenants with a written privacy policy.
