In this week’s episode of Your Landlord Resource Podcast, Kevin and I dive into one of the most common modern-day questions—can landlords legally install video cameras at their rental properties?

We break down the legal guidelines on where cameras are allowed, how to respect tenant privacy, and what to include in your lease addendums to keep you covered. We also talk about the etiquette behind using surveillance, who should have access to footage, and the hidden responsibilities that come with cloud-based storage systems.

Plus, we discuss how to handle situations when tenants install their own devices, such as doorbell cameras or interior security systems, and what your options are if those devices capture common or shared areas. You’ll also hear our recommendations on affordable, weatherproof cameras for both single-family and multi-unit properties, and the pros and cons of wired versus battery setups.

If you’ve been curious about adding smart technology like video surveillance or want to know what’s legal and what’s not, this episode will walk you through every step so you can make an informed, professional decision for your rentals.
