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... --Steve Bellovin, http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~smb
