Rent tech platforms on notice for collecting too much personal information

Australia's Privacy Commissioner has put the rent tech sector on notice, ruling that a platform had been unfairly collecting excessive amounts of personal information from prospective tenants.The decision noted a "significant power imbalance" in the rental property market that had made consumers particularly vulnerable to unfair practices.It's been hailed as a win for renters, and it could lead major changes across the sector. So where is the line between what's reasonable information for landlords and real estate agents to ask for, and a tenant's right to privacy?
