Can my landlord notify others of who visits my apartment?
cali resident
landlord knows my father
our complex has many cameras which she views and then reports to my father who visits me?
is there any privacy law out there that prohibits this?
I would think that is invasion of privacy. I would consult a lawyer. Their first consultation by phone is usually free to determine if there is a case. I would sue the landlord for a fortune.

No. There is no privacy law out there that can prohibit who she tells is coming in and out of her building. The cameras are in common areas and not in your apartment I assume so there is no law relegating privacy in your regards. If it bothers you that much, the only resort you have is to move.

just as long as she don't have cameras inside your APT. then nothing you can do about it. get a house if you want real privacy.

Security cameras and property surveillance tend to work in a rather grey area of the law. It is not illegal to have security yet it can be a violation of ones right to privacy if you are singled out and stalked by someone. Especially if there is only the one camera. I would ask to see the tape / monitor, or inquire as to why theres such a keen interest in my unit. Perhaps it can be proven that the view isnt fair and is set to focus in on you, if so theres likely a landlord tenant issue. If not then maybe it could be re aimed or removed. If your father pays the rent you may have to request him to demand the snooping be stopped. If you pay the rent then you must be of legal age and it's none of his business who visits you. His concern while commendable may also be a liability depending on why there is a camera watching in on you.

Her behavior is inappropriate but not illegal.
Is there some reason why you can't put on your big girl panties and tell both her AND your father that you are an adult and what you do and with whom is your business ... not theirs, and that you will not tolerate this behavior from either of them any longer?
I'm Gonna Tell You
What happens in public, can be used as public knowledge.
Find another place to live if it bothers you that much. As for the security it provides, you will relinquish some privacy.

This is not illegal, since your landlord has a personal relationship with your father, and so do you. Find another apartment.

i would think so, contact legal aid,,,, or a renters association,,,, they should be listed in the phone book, or even contact an attorney,,,, they often offer free or lost cost initial consultations,,,,,,,,, or try looking up the issue online,,,,,,, if you let her know you feel its an invasion of your privacy and you are researching legal remedies, perhaps she will stop,,,,, though keep in mind she may continue, and your father just not let you know
LindaLou
I don't know whether it's legal where you are or not, but it is most certainly tasteless. Talk to your landlord and tell her that if she does not cease and desist communicating these things to your father that you are giving your notice and moving elsewhere where you will get more privacy. Then stick to it!!
