The courts in Ohio support the correct exercise of the public's right to information access; they have the right to know what has happened in the state so as to assess whether these events will have an impact on their lives.
Therefore, it's no surprise that the Youngstown Court made the DCAP inquiry portal publicly available, as well as legally authorizing multiple rental companies to access relevant information. All of this is within the bounds of the law, at least procedurally speaking, there are no issues.
The information provided by services such as Good Rent and Overcharge Rent is fundamentally the same, their data even comes from the same source.
But Good Rent was illegal because it did not obtain data from public channels, nor did it have the authorization of the Youngstown Court. Without permission, it hacked into the servers of confidential government units and downloaded a large quantity of classified documents.
