Key Privacy Concerns

Enterprise-Scale Surveillance

Yardi's enterprise platform collects every data point about your tenancy: applications, payment timing, maintenance requests, lease compliance, neighbor complaints, and more. This creates comprehensive profiles used for automated decision-making.

Portfolio-Wide Data Sharing

Institutional landlords manage thousands of properties. Your tenant data is shared across their entire portfolio, meaning issues at one property can affect your standing at any property owned by that landlord.

Algorithmic Decision Making

Yardi powers automated decisions about screening, rent increases, lease renewals, and eviction proceedings. These algorithms may affect your housing without meaningful human review of your individual circumstances.

Indefinite Data Retention

Yardi retains tenant data indefinitely. Your complete rental history—including every late payment, maintenance request, and violation—becomes a permanent record in enterprise databases.
