If you asked the landlord not to reveal that information, there might be some liability, but otherwise you have the problem of showing that you had a reasonable expectancy of not having your name revealed [and that it was not on your mailbox, list of tenants in the lobby, etc.] and that you actually suffered damages from what the landlord did [a bill collector finding you would not be a recoverable damage].
