I stumbled on this news and started wondering if it's legal. It seems to me it shouldn't, since it's pretty much doxing. But I don't know at all.

That information is not public though. No one is stopping a landlord from asking for references and reaching out to those past landlords; which is a totally fair thing to do.

There is tons of information that is public that people don't think of.
