What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
My wife and I are one of three parties that rent rooms in a home. The three rooms that the home owners rent out all share a main hallway. I have recently discovered a hidden camera inside a smoke detector in the main hallway above the entrance from the garage.
I caught on to this because the homeowners young daughter blurted out one day that her mom told her that me and my wife, "fight a lot". The next day I asked the young girl how she knew that and she told me that theres a camera, "back there" *as she pointed towards our room*, and that daddy can plug it into the computer and they can "hear" us fighting...(anyone creeped out yet!?)
Anyways, CA law as I understand it allows main/public areas -hallways, entraces, and kitchens- to be videotaped for surveillance by a landlord provided that they only record video and not audio and that all parties are informed of its presence in the home.
Am I correct on this?
What should I do? Do I confront the homeowner about this?
Thanks
