Often renters think that can a landlord put cameras outside the house? Let me tell you that my

landlord installed the security cameras at the entrance and in the parking area. Initially, I was concerned about privacy, but the landlord explained that the cameras were meant for security and that they would not be recording inside the apartments.

Can My Landlord Put Cameras Outside My House?

  • Installing security cameras around the exterior of a house or apartment is totally lawful for a landlord. Nonetheless, the placement of the cameras is crucial. 

  • Security cameras installed by landlords in Indian properties are becoming increasingly common as a way to enhance safety and security. 

  • Landlords can put security cameras in shared or common areas of rental properties, such as entrances, hallways, or parking lots, to monitor and protect the premises. 

However, there are legal boundaries when it comes to tenant privacy, and landlords must ensure that cameras do not invade personal spaces like bedrooms or bathrooms. Understanding these rules is essential to maintaining a balance between security and privacy in rental properties. Improper fixing of cameras in any place that may offend the tenant's privacy might also result in lawsuits against the landlord.

According to practices, landlords must keep their tenants informed about security cameras, as either the terms of a lease agreement can contain the information or a notice can be given to the tenants. Transparency regarding the use and installation of cameras builds trust between landlords and tenants and also avoids disputes caused by violation of privacy.

The tenants may approach legal authorities in case they think their right to privacy is being invaded through cameras.
