The problem is pointed out in Salt Lake CityCity Park ApartmentsProperty.

Mr. Jason Ring, who was a resident, received a visit from a representative from City Park Apartments and said, "Since there is a condition" to add an official Facebook page to friends within 5 days of arrival "in the rental agreement, to add it" I was requested. Apparently, it seems that it was a condition added after the contract, but according to the person in charge, some people already contracted under this condition.

However, the additional condition is that "City Park Apartments will be permitted to publish pictures of residents and visitors", and Mr. Ring who felt that it was a privacy invasion did not update the lease contract, I retired.

According to Zachary · Myers who specializes in borrowing right, since the borrower (borrower) and the lessor (lender) are linked with each other at the time of lease agreement, acceptance of additional conditions is legally It will not be required. Myers points out that the biggest problem with this additional condition is that it is an unfair condition for those who do not have a Facebook account and can not create it.

It is unclear whether City Park Apartments closed the Facebook page with this news report or what the Facebook page of City Park Apartments was like at the moment. According to Ars Technica, City Park Apartments's "official" Facebook page was created, and over 800 "stars 1" ratings were flooded. The following link seems to be an unofficial page, but it can not be seen here either.
