> that someone else owns.
No one tell this guy about the shit home owners have to deal with. Once you decide to give other people access to anything you own you are held to a completely different set of standards than for things you keep locked in your closet at home.
- Atreiden 3y agoCan you expand on this a bit more? I'm not sure I follow you.

- em-bee 3y agowhen you rent an apartment generally the owner of the apartment does not have any rights to the apartment and anything inside it, other than it not be damaged, and they have the obligation to keep things working if the damage was not caused intentionally. in countries that have strong protection for renters, the owner does not even have the right to enter the property without express permission from the persons living there and any kind of surveillance is out of the question.
- prepend 3y agoThis is all related to a “reasonable expectation of privacy” [0]. People who rent a home are legally entitled to privacy and the home owner can’t put cameras up and monitor them unless the resident permits it. But if I own a home and live there I can put cameras up wherever I want. And if you come into my home, you don’t have a reasonable expectation of privacy standing on my front porch. But if it’s different if you’re in the bathroom of my home because you expect privacy there. Of course “reasonable” varies and states vary. But, in the US, the courts have ruled that at work you should pretty much zero expectation of privacy except in a few exceptions like bathrooms and lactation rooms and clinics and stuff.
