I had to deal with junkies climbing over the side yard fence so they could shoot up in the dark privacy of that yard. 

Because you have a house you don't have a scintilla of respect for the applicants right to the privacy of their confidential information. 

It is not an individuals privacy matter that a property had a notice, pulled a permit or did or did NOT pay their property taxes.

The fence is a 6-foot wooden privacy fence, and the groundhog has taken to digging under the fence into the backyard. 

This is why I have my profile set to the highest privacy setting.  :-)

This protects your privacy and avoids probate.

Any tenant/applicant with security/privacy issues is going to make for a high maintenance tenant.I have far more important things to do with my time than chase after applicants that are intentionally jerking my chain.

You can’t betray privacy laws, but I bet you can find a way to say “you’re not financially acceptable to me” in front of your tenant (followed closely by, “I’ll be happy to discuss specifics with you in private.”)

Respect your tenant's privacy. 

Most people buy houses because they want privacy, converting it into a duplex is almost like buying into a small condo.
