landlord knows my father
our complex has many cameras which she views and then reports to my father who visits me?
is there any privacy law out there that prohibits this?

I would think that is invasion of privacy. I would consult a lawyer. Their first consultation by phone is usually free to determine if there is a case. I would sue the landlord for a fortune.

Security cameras and property surveillance tend to work in a rather grey area of the law. It is not illegal to have security yet it can be a violation of ones right to privacy if you are singled out and stalked by someone. Especially if there is only the one camera. I would ask to see the tape / monitor, or inquire as to why theres such a keen interest in my unit. Perhaps it can be proven that the view isnt fair and is set to focus in on you, if so theres likely a landlord tenant issue. If not then maybe it could be re aimed or removed. If your father pays the rent you may have to request him to demand the snooping be stopped. If you pay the rent then you must be of legal age and it's none of his business who visits you. His concern while commendable may also be a liability depending on why there is a camera watching in on you.

No. There is no privacy law out there that can prohibit who she tells is coming in and out of her building. The cameras are in common areas and not in your apartment I assume so there is no law relegating privacy in your regards. If it bothers you that much, the only resort you have is to move.

No No No No way!!! you're being violated! replace the locks and don't provide him a key! you're procuring that area and this is yours to do what you like with. This guy sounds like a creep! He must be dealing with your underclothes drawer! human beings carry out a little nasty issues. positioned up some hidden cameras around and positioned issues particularly places so which you would know if he messed with them or grew to become into in there snooping. it quite is nasty to enable your landlord use your bathing room in any case. sort on your seek bar.... renters rights (then the state you're from) so like, renters rights MN or ND or CA In my state, there must be a particular contract or affiliation to verify that the owner to pass into your house. Or if there are Emergencies like a overflowing tub leaking into yet another apt. or something emergency appropriate......... ( A LANDLORD using YOUR bathing room for inner maximum USE isn't AN EMERGENCY) i could additionally touch a lawyer and ask for some suggestion, some won't provide you loose suggestion, yet some will. call many distinctive places. you ought to purchase new door handles and locks at Walmart for much less costly or you could pass to residing house Depo or Lowes. they are hassle-free to place in. i could additionally rfile the situations and days he's in there. Write down in case you referred to as him to verify why, have a witness sign the documentation. in case you spent or positioned funds into maintenance that mandatory or could desire to be made save the reciept reason which may well be deducted from the protection Deposit. the area ought to have been one hundred% once you moved in.

I don't know whether it's legal where you are or not, but it is most certainly tasteless. Talk to your landlord and tell her that if she does not cease and desist communicating these things to your father that you are giving your notice and moving elsewhere where you will get more privacy. Then stick to it!!

What happens in public, can be used as public knowledge.
Find another place to live if it bothers you that much. As for the security it provides, you will relinquish some privacy.

i would think so, contact legal aid,,,, or a renters association,,,, they should be listed in the phone book, or even contact an attorney,,,, they often offer free or lost cost initial consultations,,,,,,,,, or try looking up the issue online,,,,,,, if you let her know you feel its an invasion of your privacy and you are researching legal remedies, perhaps she will stop,,,,, though keep in mind she may continue, and your father just not let you know

This is not illegal, since your landlord has a personal relationship with your father, and so do you. Find another apartment.

Her behavior is inappropriate but not illegal.
Is there some reason why you can't put on your big girl panties and tell both her AND your father that you are an adult and what you do and with whom is your business ... not theirs, and that you will not tolerate this behavior from either of them any longer?
