Unauthorized outdoor security cameras - addendum?
Looking for an addendum template addressing tenant-installed outdoor security cameras.
My new tenants, who moved into my SFH (in GA) a month ago, went ahead and installed several outdoor security cameras without approval. Mounted to downspouts on corners of the house. This is a young successful couple with high incomes/credit scores, no trouble, but for some reason obsessed with privacy and security - while living in a safe neighborhood. All of the window blinds are always closed, Simply Safe system installed inside (they did share the code), and now these cameras.
They know they are supposed to get cameras approved. Since they've been good tenants so far, I don't want to make a big deal out of this. I plan to let them keep the cameras but will issue a warning, as well as will have them sign an addendum protecting myself from potential liability related to audio/video recording without visitors' consent, or privacy intrusion liability if the cameras are capturing parts of the neighbors' properties. Perhaps other risks I haven't though about?
If anyone already has an addendum on this, would you mind sharing it? I figured this happens so often that someone by now has created one. @Nathan Gesner tagging you since you seem to have an addendum for everything :)
Thank you!
