1. Tell your landlord there is a problem
Question and answer
Can my landlord install a security camera on the rental property?You should talk to your landlord if you're concerned about:
- where they put a security camera
- how they are using it
- what it's recording
It's a good idea to give your landlord a written letter and keep a copy for yourself in case you need to prove that you told them about the problem. Your letter should say:
- the date,
- your name, unit number, and contact details
- what the problem is, for example, the camera invades your privacy by looking into your unit
- what you want your landlord to do about the problem
Your letter should include information about how the camera is causing a privacy issue that affects your use and reasonable enjoyment of the unit.
Your landlord might decide to change the camera's location or to stop using it improperly.
