Can a landlord disclose another tenants information with another tenant?

Probably. If this info was untrue, and it caused the tenant some financial loss, that would be slander. But, otherwise, the law expects us to put up with some amount of insult. Some information - like a social security number - is protected by law.

∙ 9y agoYes, landlords are people, and people gossip. It isn't appropriate and it isn't a good idea, but obviously it happens and there is no law against gossip. Gossip is simply casual or unconstrained conversation or reports about other people, typically involving details that are not confirmed as being true. I disagree: landlords are generally bound by legal standards to be fair and impartial to all tenants. They are also bound by confidentiality laws in their state. If a tenant is aggrieved by landlord statements (gossip) they can sue the landlord for damages.

∙ 9y agoThis depends on what is being said in the gossip. If these are untrue statements that the landlord is passing off facts about a person, they be liable for defamation. If they're releasing private information about tenant that they learned through the course of their employment (yes, landlords are business owners) then they may be liable to the tenant for invasion of privacy.
If the gossip becomes so severe that the tenant feels harassed living their from your behavior, they may quit their lease and move. A person has an inherent right to live peacefully and not be subject to gossip or harassment.

You do have grounds to terminate your lease but you need to go through the legal steps to do so. If your landlord didn't disclose that the last 2 tenants committed suicide in the house, you have a right to move, due to emotional damages.
