Is this allowed? Hidden camera in house..

[desm0nd]

So I just moved into a house that the owner lives in as well with his partner. Its shared everything, with 3 other roommates living here as well.

So recently he told me that he has a hidden camera(s) around the house to make sure nothing gets broken or stolen because there are so many people coming in and out of the house.

He wont tell me where it is but assures me that there is one(or possibly more) on the main floor.

There are none in my bedroom or bathroom.

Is this allowed? He never told me about it when I moved in.

If it is allowed, can he not tell me where it is.

It is his house, I have not signed a lease or any contract so basically I am just renting out the room so I have no real rights, so he could ultimately kick me out, but just curious about the situation.

LOL. You're going to see your pecker on the internets!

sigh.... residential private property. Owner can claim it's for security purposes, which is perfectly legal. Otherwise, having a security system in a house by say ADT would be illegal.

Don't like it, rent another place.

Creepy, but the key is:

There are none in my bedroom or bathroom.

So I guess you havent got too much to worry about. Although I'd bet he's just bluffing hoping the threat of taped evidence will keep you guys on the straight and narrow.

Only one way to find out for sure!

move on.

if your living in an environment that has that high a risk of crime, its trouble

otherwise if you're living with a crazy who is that paranoid, that is trouble

move on

"You have cameras around the house? Good, then I won't need to tell you where I hid all the rent cheques I was going to give you."

I would HATE that. I don't think I could live in a place like that.

The obvious solution is to call his bluff. Punch a hole in the wall somewhere, call him up, and challenge him to say what it is you did, and where. Or even better, don't do ANYTHING, but say you did do something, and see what he does.

It's being recorded on video but is it also recording audio?

[najibs]

maybe they have night vision too!

It is his property, he can have cameras if he wants. No lease signed, he can kick you out whenever he wants, and you are free to leave whenever you want. I still think bathroom cameras would be illegal, but apparently isn't the problem.

Just look for the cameras, he could just be bluffing.
