If it is a business, then accurate address does not seem to me an issue, if it is a private address, I think a bit of fuzziness is helpful
An apartment complex/condo/etc is a business which contains private addresses.
Do you sell to the residents directly or do you sell to the apartment complex which then resells to individual residents?
If the former then you're basically off the hook for anybody who doesn't get a /29 or larger.
For the latter, you're providing significant amounts of a public resource (IP addresses) to a business whose contact information you're contractually and ethically obligated to reveal. If a particular complex is worried about publishing their location, they can always rent a P.O. box. If you're the only one doing the worrying, don't.
I strongly disagree -- you're revealing the precise address of any tenant in those buildings. Don't do that...
Chiming in: I would tend to agree with smb on this particular issue -- that's a bit *too* precise. - - ferg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Desktop 9.5.3 (Build 5003) wj8DBQFMWcNoq1pz9mNUZTMRArbvAJ9ymAZzgf/hlOVPWQtTj3GcGCFKaACff7Hy bMw7Gg6uZObU4cPmoDU9TK4= =mrQI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
