Doreen,
The Council will require to provide information held in former tenancy
records and may be required to justify their retention, issues associated
with accuracy, etc.
The former tenant would require to give information which requires us to
identify the data. A request for all housing related information without
details of address, former addresses, etc, would not be acceptable.

Subject: Relevant Filing System
All
The Act states "or by reference to criteria relating to individuals".
My question is - we have council tenants - we hold files and some files
contain information about all previous tenants (probably an unstructured
file) with only the address as the identifier on the front of the file. If
a subject access request was made would be have to go to that file as the
contents of the file could hold information relating to them while they had
the tenancy, albeit it would not be a current address and therefore the
information would not be accurate or would we only have to go to that file
if the data subject expressly asked for all information relating to him/her
and included all previous addresses?
Any help would be appreciated.
