    Slight Correction: Your landlord sold your personal information to a company that sends you ads.

    It’s not much different, but this feels just a little bit worse.

      I used to take the weekly mailer coupons, the ones printed on newsprint, fold them up, & put them in the no postage necessary envelopes that came with credit card offers & what not. Seal em up & send them along.

      I wish there was a way to do something similar with junk emails…

      Is this even legal, or is there a tiny ‘We can sell any info about you and possibly your location as well because you are not rich enough to afford a house lmao’ on the paperwork we are supposed to sign?

          Before I got into my current lease I went over the whole thing, and the landlord was actually good enough to amend some things I did not like.

          I would never, ever consent to having my data sold, especially by someone taking 20-50% of monthly income. They’re almost taking you for a ride at that point!

        Sure! But I don’t think they are interested in buying one address at a time, so find a few hundred other assholes in your life and see how it goes.
