Tenant installing outdoor camera

[Jeremy Goodrich]

A client had this scenario:

Tenant at a duplex wants to install Ring security system. Wants to put a camera on her front porch. There’s no way to avoid it viewing the driveway which means the comings and goings of the other tenant.

She asked permission so what would you say?

People do not have a right to privacy in public areas. Notify the other tenants that the camera will be installed. Let them view a sample photo of what can be seen once it is installed so they know not to pick up the newspaper in the nude or deal weed in the driveway.
