Can a landlord share rent payment from one tenant to another?
Is this illegal to do? Showing the check of a payment made to them by their tenant to another tenant?

It would be extremely rare for your rent information to be confidential. Landlords share that information all the time with purchasers, lenders, and sometimes other tenants. It would have to be specifically called out in the lease that landlord cannot disclose your rent without express consent, and as a landlord, I would not sign a lease with that in it. \n\n2). You are entitled to see CAM charges upon reasonable request. Landlords dick around with CAM all the time. If they are not providing it, there is a reason. Hire an attorney.
