Legal analysis

Now the house management is very strict. If the intermediary wants to inquire about the owner's information, it will ask the owner to sign a power of attorney, and also need to provide a copy of the owner's ID card and real estate license. If you don't provide valid documents and sign a power of attorney, the intermediary is not allowed to inquire about the owner's information. Once found, the company will be fined 200 thousand. After signing the power of attorney, with the authorization of the owner, the intermediary can verify the owner's information in the housing management office and verify the authenticity of the house. If it is only a verbal entrustment and effective information such as real estate license is not provided, people will not be able to inquire about the owner's information. Because the query needs to provide information such as ID number and real estate license number. Without the consent of the owner, the owner has the right to report to the police, which has bad consequences and infringes on the privacy of the owner. The right to privacy refers to a kind of personality right that the private life and private information secrets enjoyed by natural persons are protected according to law and are not illegally violated, known, collected, used and made public by others. Moreover, the subject of rights has the right to decide to what extent others can interfere in their private lives, whether their privacy is open to others, and the scope and extent of disclosure.
