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…
You can opt out of credit card offers. https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/prescreened-credit-insurance-offers
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?
I'd bet they had it hidden in the lease /privacy agreement
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!
Can one sell their landlords info I wonder?
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.
