SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Tenants at a Salt Lake City apartment complex are not giving likes to a Facebook-centric condition to their lease.
KSL-TV reports that tenants at City Park Apartments received a notice on their doors late last week about a contractual add-on involving Facebook.
According to the document, a new lease agreement mandates that residents friend the complex on Facebook within five days of signing or be found in violation.
The document also has a release that permits the property to post pictures of tenants and their visitors on its Facebook page.

I'd share a picture every piece of damage I found on the complex to their page with scathing commentary about how bad of landlords they are.

(15,882 posts)series of pictures and comments about visitors to their homes and offices. Maybe one of their owners does a little extra-curricular visiting outside the home? Maybe their kids are dealing little? One never knows, when a family has the money to do such things.
Heck, people who don't even live there could take putting the owners lives online as a hobby. Make the owners, and everyone in their family, and everyone they know - Internet celebrities.
hehehe.
It's ok, we know you got confused.You thought you owned the people as well as the complex. Got it straight yet?
No, don't thank us...

OK, good reviews. It's sort of like peer pressure, and not as good as
delivering superior services to tenants, but it's got a goal to it.
Monitoring friends and visitors? ?. ?.
Is it implied eviction for tenants with some sort of unapproved or inferior
friends and visitors? Is it class related, racial, ethnic, religious?
'You are being evicted in 30 days for having __________ visitors and/or friends
to your home.'
Lawsuit city.

(50,452 posts)Being required to Friend the complex sounds like they plan to distribute tenant information via Facebook. The pictures thing is a whole 'nother issue: don't all the privacy people say never advertise your residence online?

feint praise,
feigned praise,

Resident should issue "The apartment management sux" T-shirts for wear around poolside.

Can the tenants also do such things?

(37,955 posts)...but I'm pretty sure this violates Facebook policy. I know a business can't offer gifts or discounts in trade for "Likes". I'm betting Facebook, itself, shuts that shit down.
