Tenant request: Ring Doorbell, 1st fl of MFH w shared common area
Have a new tenant who just asked to install a Ring doorbell and cameras outside of her front and back doors. This is in a multi-family (3) home and she is on the first floor. I'm not comfortable with this given the 2nd and 3rd floor tenants also have access to these common areas. Some background on layout - her front door leads into the 'foyer' of the front common entrance. the front camera would observe them going in and out and also downstairs to the laundry area. Her backdoor faces out to the first floor landing of the 3-story deck which tenants use 90% of the time to go up to their apartments (shared off-street parking in back). I feel this kinda violates their privacy and I want everyone to feel comfortable. But I also want the first floor tenant to feel safe. Any thoughts, suggestions, advice?
