Confidentiality

[Long Walk]

It doesn't bother me what the owner/manager tells their tenants, as it isn't my business. And I completely understand the concern from their side and the suspicion/security of maintaining tenants, etc. I just don't want to be the one falsifying information. I didn't mean to come across as knowing more than anyone else here, but I feel like that route, as a professional, seems rather unethical and just isn't good practice, IMO. I try very hard to avoid getting into scenarios where someone (who is not client, owner/manager, etc) is asking for information that I really don't want to be answering in any fashion. If I'm going to a strip-center filled with tenants, I'm talking to the owner or property manager and making sure that the tenants know I'll be coming. I want to leave it up to them to decide best how to handle their own information, if at all possible.

Your approach and ethics sound like mine. Good post.
