Investigation notes

Greystar Real Estate Partners, a globally recognized leader in property management, officially reported a security incident to the Washington Attorney General in August 2026.

The breach exposed a comprehensive range of highly sensitive personal data. The compromised categories include individuals' Full Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Mailing Address, Financial Account Number, Driver's License Number, Rental and Payment History, and Email Address.
