So in an ironic twist of fate - registering with the ICO as a private landlord with my home address as organization address, appears to expose my name and address to the entire world. - somewhat obvious with hindsight but still.
Should I just get a PO box or something to ensure my own privacy? What do others do?
Yes, it is ironic. I certainly do not have PO box. You’ll be on the rental property & Landlord register soon as well, so you’ll hardly be able to avoid being in the public eye.
