    Default Landlord Installed Surveillance Cameras

    My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of Maryland. I live in a little community owned by a small leasing company that rents to college students. They recently installed a 360 degree surveillance camera with audio on the outside of one of the houses. However the location of the camera puts it approximately 20 feet from a trio of girls' bedrooms where it has a completely unobstructed view. There is nothing in the lease that mentions any sort of surveillance system and nobody was notified before installation; the super just showed up yesterday to install it without telling anybody beforehand.

    Is our landlord allowed to do this, even though the camera can look directly into those bedrooms?

    Default Re: Landlord Installed Surveillance Cameras

    There are no laws that prevent the landlord from installing camera's in common areas nor are there any laws that require the landlord to notify his tenants.

    Ask the landlord to change the angle of the camera's or tell the girls to put up shades on their windows.
