I wonder if the information can be publicly posted according to lease contract. I see the value of avoiding bad landlords/tenants, but the privacy concern is horrific.
Imagine if pharmacies started rating bad customers, hospital publishing lists of bad patients, teachers posting lists of bad students. It would be a complete social disaster and stop a lot of people from receiving access to basic necessities because providers did not want to take a risk on some unrated or that received a bad first/second rating (which is completely subjective).
The article clearly states that the reports must be supported by documents from the TLB. Those records are public.
Are the reports completely objective? Even with supporting documents, people tend to not look at the source and just read the report. At least that's the case with Wikipedia.
They are hearing and judgement reports from the board so there is that.
