Did it come in as a request for information or as a specific SAR?
If a general FOI then I would:
Firstly - Use the 'personal data of applicant' as a straight off exemption (38 in the Scottish play, don't know what it is down south off top of head) and boot that part into a separate SAR request process (this may also involve exemptions where third parties are involved).
Secondly - take what's left and apply relevant FOI exemptions where appropriate. From what little evidence you give I would hazard a guess at probably using the other parts of the DP exemption (within the FOI Act) unless you get consent from the landlord (unlikely).
Other options could be commercial interests and or confidentiality. But you need to gen up on these and perhaps read some case scenarios before applying.
Cheers Simon.

Subject: [data-protection] SAR/FOI
I’m currently dealing with a request for information under DPA and FOI. The information requested relates to the applicant’s housing records and correspondence/records between the authority and the letting agent/landlord about the property where the tenant resides. The SAR element of this is quite easy to deal with, however apart from the third party personal information e.g. e-mail addresses, bank details I’m not aware if another exemption applies, can’t help feeling a bit cautious about this because of the issues that have been going on between the tenant and the landlord/letting agent.
Your assistance with this would be appreciated.
Marie
