Client privilege with regards to Management Companies

Are Management Companies bound to client privilege like attorneys are?

For example, if I sent an email containing private resident information to the Management Company and they in turn forwarded a copy of it to a member of the community without an official request from said member, would they be in violation of any laws?

This isn't coming from a board member, it's coming from a member of the community.

The problem is is that this particular person is, from what I understand, calling the PM on an almost daily basis to find out what's going on in the community, and because the PM knows this person and knows that this person knows a lot about the community (since they have lived here for some time) that the PM has been confiding in this person instead of approaching board members.

But I also found out that the PM may also be sending correspondence (emails) between the Board and the management company as well, which is where this question came in.

Bryan,

This is unprofessional behavior on the part of the P.M. and I would certainly inform him/her that it needs to stop. How much is gossip? The snitch is just that, a tattle tale and that is childish.

There is no privledge involved here. The P.M. needs to stop taking those phone calls or I would have their job under question.

Bryan,

Do PMs have to be licensed in FL? If so, part of the process may include them agreeing to obey certain procedures, such as attorneys are required to follow the CPR (Code of Professional Responsiblity). You might want to check into that angle to see if a similar set of rules exists. If they do, the licensing entity would have enforcement/sanctioning powers.
