A tenant wants to see the rental application of their roommate and (current? former?) romantic partner. The answer is obviously no, since it’s not their information and a lot of it is sensitive, like SSN and credit history. And I’m sure it would be a major violation of privacy laws.

Am I right in thinking that any request short of a court order should just be refused?

But it has me wondering…are there any reasonable grounds at all for a person to want information from a roommate’s application? The only reasons I can think of are distrust over money/credit/background, or a possible dispute over income as a factor in determining alimony.

I’ll soon have a vacancy at an old house that will need a lot of work. It’s a large single family house with medium density zoning. It could potentially become a triplex. I will get full permitting.

Is there any guidance as to which unit would be the “old” one for AB 1482 purposes, and which units would be new construction and exempt?

Like does square footage matter or something, with the largest unit being deemed the old one? All three units would have one roof so it’s not like one is clearly distinct as an ADU or anything.
