@Timothy Ortiz I don’t see an issue with it if your tenant is one you like living there and you are interested in keeping. It’s not something you must do. I personally have not done it for a tenant.

True story, my father in law has rentals too and had the same request from one of his tenants. He installed the cameras. A few weeks later he got a call from the tenant complaining that someone had vandalized (pooped) in the middle of her driveway. He watched the recording, turns out a wild horse came strolling right down the middle of her suburban street at 2am and laid one smack dab in the middle of her driveway. You might see some interesting things!

Hi Matt the tenant that is staying in the unit is a good tenant.  I just don't want to be on the hook for equipment failure, setup, technical support, etc...

What's your recommendation?  Comcast, ADT, etc... Also should I pay for the service or is that something  she should have to pay if she wants monitoring?

What type of property are we talking? SFR, Duplex or a large apartment building?

It is an SFR
