This information is protected by law against misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. Some information you can’t be asked for, as detailed below.
Disposal of Personal Details:
Tenant information must be destroyed within the legislated timeframes:
• if the application is successful: 3 years after the end of the tenancy
• for unsuccessful applicants, 30 days after the tenancy is let – or if the applicant agrees, 6 months after providing the information. (This could be to assist with future applications.)
The above timelines are subject to a 12-month transitional period from 1 September 2023.
Disclosure of Personal Details:
A person who holds tenant information or prospective tenant information must not disclose the information except:
• with the consent of the person whose information it is
• as required or authorised by law, or a residential tenancy agreement to which the person who provided the information is a party

If tenant information that relates to you has been dealt with in a way that breaches the requirements, you may make an application to SACAT seeking compliance.
Misleading information:
