I have been surveillance for the past 18 months or more in my home. I have no idea who or why. All my actions and conversations are being heard and watched, even in the bathroom and shower! I have no privatecy. The landlord wants me to continue to pay rent. I think he is out of his mind! These people have been threatening & abusing me! Plus 2-way radios. HELP!

I became aware, months after moving in, this community has a history of ID theft. I have told the police but they do nothing. I don't know where the cameras are or else I would have removed them by now. How I know, I can sense it, and my personal belonging and document have slowly disappeared, plus other out of the ordinary things have been happening. I was a normal person, before this.

Just wear a hat made of tin foil and the aliens will not be able to get you.

First of all, how do you know that all of your actions are being recorded and watched? You say people have been threatening and abusing you, but you are not specific....how and by what media have they been threatening and abusing you?
Have to ask...do you abuse drugs or alcohol or have any relatives that have a history of psychiatric disorders? It sounds like you might be suffering from delusions of grandeur with a persecution complex and/or have a chemical imbalance. A trip to your family doctor would be a good start.
Surveillance is very expensive and unless you are doing something highly illegal or that may threaten national security, no one is going to pony up the dough for that type of montioring.
Not to say that things like this do not occasionally happen where a landlord will install a camera over a bed to record sexual activity or in a shower to tape nudity, but usually are motion or sound sensitive and do not record everything all the time and at an amateur level, would record maybe 60-120 minutes at most before someone would have to change out the media storage device. It is illegal and if you have proof, it can be reported to the police.
The only type of round-the-clock surveillance usually would be is you are a big-time drug dealer or a threat to Homeland security; in either of those case, it won't matter where you move to, the surveillance would continue.
As long as you are living where you are, you need to pay the rent. If you are in a lease, you can move and try to use the "my landlord is taping me" to try to get out of it, but unless you have proof and file a criminal complaint against the landlord, will be a tough sell to the Court and you could end up being held liable for the remaing months on a lease or a few months rent.

wow!!! You did way too long to say something...
That is illegal what your landlord is doing...
Report it to the police and do something about it...
If is not reason and if you weren't doing nothing illegal.
I say you need to see a Lawyer you might get a lawsuit against that landlord.
Make sure the police see them and have witness to see the cameras etc.
Then after is been recorded with the police and pics are been taken, take them down.
Not before you will need them for prove it.

Report the surveillance to the local authorities. Unless someone is operating under a warrant, or your rental agreement specifically allows someone to electronically monitor the property, you have what is called an "expectation of privacy."
You may have a lawsuit, so you'll be a homeowner very soon!

Normal people cannot "sense" that they are being watched. What you are experiencing are the symptoms of a mental illness: the feeling you are being watched, misplacement of belongings, hearing voices, other unusual things.
My mother went through pretty much the same thing, until her doctor found the right medication for her. And she, too, was normal before it started.

Call the POLICE no it is not legal to spy on you in your home. It doesn't matter that you are a renter, it doesn't give anyone the right to invade you privacy. He belongs in JAIL, and he will go if you press charges.

Video without sound can be legal sometime, video with sound or a sound recording device is illegal. Call the cops and hire a lawyer.

If you know you are under surveillance then you must know where the cameras and microphones are. Remove them and pay the rent.

Find them all, take them down and put them on ebay and make a dime. No one has a right to watch you like that. It is not about rent - its is about privacy.
