"Ries said Naborly seems to be acting as a consumer reporting agency, of which there are currently two licensed in Ontario: Equifax and TransUnion. The industry is tightly regulated due to the personal information involved."

On the other hand, if it isn't acting as a consumer reporting agency, then Naborly's operation seems like it should be strictly illegal:

"The process has also raised concerns from the Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA), which noted that property managers in Canada are not allowed to publish "bad tenants" lists."

> "Any landlord that overweights that in their decision-making around who to rent to is probably doing so to their own longterm detriment."

On the other hand, as in technical hiring, it is probably better to miss 10 good tenants rather than rent to one bad one. Right?
