You did not indicate if you were the tenant or the landlord asking these questions. If you are the T who is paying rent on this space, yes, you can put your own cameras up inside your living quarters, at your expense. If you are the LL renting this inside space to a T, NO, you cannot put cameras inside the Ts living space. That would be an invasion of privacy, and the T could sue you for a HUGE amount, and WIN. You can, however, put cameras on the outside of the front of the house, pointing away from the house, towards the street, to catch someone walking up to the home. That is an area that the general public can also see, so it is NOT an invasion of privacy. You cannot put one up in the back yard, as that is considered the T's space as well. If the T wants to put a camera focusing on their own back yard only, they can do so.

Got it. Thanks for the advice. This house has multiple owners and one of the owner also live there. I guess even though the owner lives there wanting to add cameras in living room and if other Ts do not want then LL should not install them inside the house.

WHY are you using 2 "handles"------Tom and Luchen26 ?? You need to stick with just 1 name/handle at all times. Others before you have done that (used several names/handles) and have gotten banned from this website for doing so.
