The scenario bans subjective reviews. Only serious predefined events supported by enforceable legal evidence could appear.

Working name: RILJ

A legally-established rental incident register could borrow safeguards from financial incident registers: prior notice, objective entry criteria, correction, limited retention and deletion after regularisation.

Comparators

France already operates national financial incident files. Switzerland allows access to its debt-enforcement register where a prospective contracting party such as a landlord has a legitimate interest.

Minimum safeguards

No entry based on a landlord allegation alone; access logged; right to contest; short deletion after regularisation; strict purpose limitation and anti-discrimination rules.
