If my landlord continues to give financial information to the other business tenants in my building without my permission, what can I do?
We currently rent office space for our business in a small office building. Our landlord has discussed our financial information with other tenants in the building and now this information has gotten back to our employees. One of the tenants in the building stopped one of my employees asking her questions about our private financial and business information. This is information that only the landlord would know. Do I have any recourse in this matter?

If your landlord has been providing your financial information to third parties without a legitimate related business purpose and you want this conduct to cease, your option is to first meet with the landlord about the situation to discuss how it can be rectified.
Follow up with that meeting with a written letter memorializing that meeting. If the dissemination of information constinues, your recourse would be to retain a landlord tenant attorney about the situation to discuss the possibility of bringing an action for injunctive relieve to preclude the the personal information being released concerning you.
