    HIPAA Violations
    An owner of a housing oppurtunity is also a peditrician. He went into medical records to determine who would be the best tenant for his property. He was not a doctor for me or my unborn child nor did he have permission to access my medical records. Is this a violation of HIPAA?

    Not only is it a violation of HIPAA but most likely some housing rule.
    What in medical records has to do with renting?
