Is the information I share with my landlord confidential?
The documentation and information you provide to your landlord are confidential, and they cannot share them with any person or agency. The law specifically says that the landlord cannot share any information:
- you provide in the written notice to the landlord;
- contained in the qualifying document;
- about your new address or location; or
- revealing that you are a victim of violence.1
The landlord must not share any of this information, even if you had signed documents before the incident giving the landlord permission to do so.2

2 Minn. Stat. § 504B.206(2)(c)
What can I do if my landlord shares my private information?
If your landlord improperly shares your confidential information, you can take them to civil court. If the judge decides the landlord broke the law, the landlord must pay you $2,000 in damages and also cover your reasonable attorney fees and court costs.1
