Have over thought this one now and wondered if people have views.
When personal data relates to a property...
Private house on X Street owned by Mr A has had an ongoing rat problem over a couple of years resulting in several complaints to the Council's pest team from neighbours, a report is produced, drain contractors engaged etc. Problem does not seem to have been solved satisfactorily however to date.
Mr A sells to Mrs B. Mrs B quickly realises upon moving in there are rats. She potentially has some dispute with the seller that Council should not get involved in. However, she requests info on the property, of which she is now the legal owner, going back years to see what complaints were made, what action taken etc.
What would you exempt, if anything, as the personal data of Mr A under FOI / EIR?
If you determine any info relating to the property as being Mr A's personal data prior to him moving, would you release it under s35 if her solicitor asked for it?
Does anyone know of any legislation that means Mrs B has a right to be told the information that I don't know of?!
Thanks
Lynn
