The Facebook group Bad Tenants refused to release information to Adam Sheehan. Photo / FileA court has declined a man's request to force a private Facebook group, where landlords publicly name and shame undesirable tenants, to release any information it holds about him. "They [the Facebook group] don't have the right - neither morally nor legally - to be making public s*** lists about people," he told Open Justice. The tribunal will investigate whether the Bad Tenants Facebook group interfered with his privacy by not responding to his direct request to release information held about him. Last year Privacy Commissioner Michael Webster ordered Bad Tenants to supply Sheehan with any personal information held about him.
