The answer is yes—landlords can install cameras outside the house or building, but they must respect tenants’ privacy rights. Here are a few considerations:
1. Permission for Surveillance
If the landlord installs cameras outside the apartment complex, they should notify tenants in advance. Tenants should also be informed of what areas are being monitored and why.
2. Privacy Boundaries Landlords
must be careful not to install cameras in places where tenants have a reasonable expectation of privacy. Surveillance should focus on exterior areas, like parking lots, walkways, and building entrances, and should not extend into tenants’ personal spaces.
