This post doesn’t make sense.
How are the cameras in the trees in the rental property powered? Neighbour is not climbing up to recharge batteries.
Why is the landlord not actively removing these cameras?
So far, there is no evidence whatsoever that the neighbour has done anything, or is a creep, other than OP specul... | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I would recommend you do the same I guess lol, no way it would need 100x mirrors to reach a temp to melt plastic | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I studied physics in college and have worked with mirrors in a lab. The reflected light from a plane mirror has a little less intensity than the incident light.
I mentioned the Archimedes legend of a destructive array of mirrors, which would be like a big concave mirror. Good luck building or finding that. A laser wo... | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
What if our lease says there are no cameras allowed to be used on the property? And now we have found cameras on our property. Isn't that at least something of negligence by the landlord and gives me a right to hold this lack of disclosure by the landlord against them? | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I would write the landlord a letter, tell her she knowingly (given her niece) rented in an unsafe situation. She is to return your deposit, or you're filing a lawsuit for the cameras ON HER PROPERTY and for not informing you.
Might not work, but I'd be calling every single day, making her life hell. Also see if local ... | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I agree a laser would be more effective, I think we all studied physics in college, are you saying you majored in it? Either way, I’m not saying it’s efficient, I’m saying it could be done with much less than 100 mirrors, I’m not saying one tiny mirror is going to do it… | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
The landlord has to be given an opportunity to remedy the situation, which in this case would be removing the cameras.
Why haven’t they already removed them? | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Apparently, she and her previous tenants never noticed them. She's "on vacation" right now so she'll "get to them when she can". Obviously I don't have a giant ladder to climb to get them down either. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
She could hire someone to remove them, or you could and deduct the cost from rent - with the landlords permission.
In any case, the landlord should be moving on this urgently, vacation or not. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
If they are on your property rip them out what is he gonna say they damaged my property that was on OPs property side?!?! | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
One option is to have the landlord uninstall them since it's against lease rules to install them. Thus, he doesn't have the right to have them either. Simply ask your landlord to uninstall them. He can't refuse even if they're his because he then either rats himself out or loses the cameras.
Now if you don't feel saf... | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
This but only the ones that look into your back yard and other places where you have "a reasonable expectation of privacy" in most states, you are not allowed to place cameras looking into anywhere that you expect to be private, like inside your home and in your back yard. Your front yard and door are not considered pr... | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
People point cameras at the sun. No damage. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
OP, if you're going to go the drone route, make sure you follow all the rules. Don't need him calling the cops on you. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
To be honest this is and awesome idea since they can't do anything if you said
"I don't know anything about it" lol ironic | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I'm all for getting a firearm and learning to be proficient with it, but I feel like there are other steps to take in this situation. A gun doesn't solve the issue if all the guy wants to do is voyeur and never escalates. In the meantime, I'd remove the camera since they're on the property I have access to, and have th... | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
If I was a woman…. I’d go the gun route for sure. Just a small one. One that can fit in a handbag easily or a bra holster…. Small .38 be more than enough. Guys like that are scary. You don’t know when it’s going to escalate. Remove the cameras and go from there. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Yes there was a post in relation to a neighbour having a camera up pointing to a teens bedroom. And agree, laser pointer will do the job nicely.
For OP, if neighbour denies any knowledge can always take them down and point at a wall. Will learn soon enough if they are his or someone else's. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I’m guessing that the rock that someone threw knocked those camera out of the tree and you were nice enough to dispose of them. You never though to ask the landlord as he already said not his | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
If he “knows nothing” about the cameras and said as much to police then it’s time to trash the cameras in the backyard. If they don’t belong to anybody then they’re just litter after all | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
If the cameras are on your property just take them down and put them in a box or closet. I doubt the neighbor will dare approach you asking where his cameras are since he doesn't seem to want to admit they're his cameras lol. Take them down. You should have done this already :) I'd also Low key put a ring camera som... | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Since your landlord knew about the issue with the cameras, and they are the reason that her niece moved out, then you might be able to break your lease because of nondisclosure. Check with a lawyer. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
No, I'd take them down, give them to the police, who should be able to track the owner through the serial numbers. Then they became evidence of voyeurism and would be grounds for a search warrant to look for footage on hard drives etc in the house and possible voyeurism/stalking charges. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Not everyone studies physics in college, but it’s irrelevant. A plane mirror wouldn’t focus light unless you use a lens. You could use a concave mirror of some sort and it would focus light at a point, or you can place a lens after the mirror to focus the light. The incident light isn’t technically parallel but it’s pr... | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I went to a college that required it, so everyone at my college did, but you are right, not all colleges require it which I didn’t think about :) | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Great Idea....even better have it pointing to a dark corner with someone standing in said corner facing said corner with wreath of grass above them :)
Ok I'm weird.... :)) | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Bonus points: put something that's constantly moving like the [drinking bird](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drinking_bird) thing that will just make the camera storage fill up and use battery faster. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
This is true. In this case I'm sorry it's true but you can film anything your eye can see from your own property. Sadly | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
I don't even think OP needs to ask permission to have a camera on the inside in a window. It's a decor item :), I'd just do it. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Get one of those grabber claws. Or spray paint them. Take charge. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Right? I doubt it's actually legal to prohibit the OP having security cameras. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Smash the shit out of the ones on your property and then see if he comes looking for reimbursement. He can’t be that smart if he’s installing the same exact cameras that are visible on his property, on yours. Hopefully the destruction of property won’t fall on you since his crimes of trespassing, pestering, stalking, h... | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Laser pointer to burn out the sensors. Camera's of your own to cover your yard and tree's. Catch him coming in to replace them. Call the police with evidence. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Exactly.
The cops cannot tell you what you can do, on your property, with gear that's legal to use.
I'm glad Special K is giving up his spread of incorrect information. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
He says they're not his and now it's on your property so they're yours now. Take them down yourself. If he comes around asking for them don't give it to him and call the police back to say that he's confessed. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |

I would email or text your landlord that the police responding to your call flat out stated they don’t think you’re safe living there. This was after they made contact with & spoke to the neighbor.

I would get an attorney to fire off a letter about her not voicing the fact that the last tenant left because a SEXUAL PERVERT lives next door. I would tell her that lawsuits are alot more expensive than you getting out of your lease because you fear for your life. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Am I missing something, on your property, neighbor isn’t claiming them, nor is landlord? Just remove them | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |
Please damage the camera in any way possible, but also, please hide too. (I.e. blinds, blackout curtains, etc.) It sucks that you have to keep private like that, but now, privacy and protection seems to be very essential. These kinds of people will never stop. And that, unfortunately, is reality. The worst part of it. ... | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-23-07 |

She actually said that the landlady admitted her niece, who used to live there, left because of this neighbor. I believe that omitting these kinds of things can be cause to break a lease, but definitely check wit( your local tenant advocacy board or a lawyer.

You have the right to have a personal camera inside your rental pointing out though. That's electronic equipment. Again....just get a ring and have it inside facing the back yard.

Oh yes it can. It can cause damage to the cameras image processor or sensor filament. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |
Sounds like they are your cameras? They’ve been left unattended on your property. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |
Congrats on that. For they cannot deny the cameras are invasion of privacy. Hope you were able to find a better place to live with the money. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |
What’s the problem? The landlord said they are not hers, they are not yours. They are in your tree. Go take them down. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |
I’d take them down if they’re on the property you rent and your land lord knows nothing about them.
Or tape a water proofed picture of Nicholas Cage to where the lens is. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |
The camera is on your property? | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-24-07 |

Never said it specifically was. Was just asking if that is what was specifically said or was something taken out of context. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-25-07 |
By saying it might’ve been taken out of context, you’re implying the police officers didn’t think it was an unsafe situation. The opposite of that is a safe situation… why on earth would you think it was taken out of context if you agree it’s unsafe? | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-25-07 |

A few ways to deal with the next situation that may arise in the future with neighbor having cameras that point into your property/home. Especially if they are on their property.

Assuming they were bought with credit cards then the police probably could do this maybe or at least see what network they were connected to as in if they were connected to the neighbor's Wi-Fi then obviously they're his and he set them up but I highly doubt that they would take the effort to actually go to that troubl... | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-26-07 |
Sadly, you're most likely right. At the very least OP or her landlord should remove them. Since they were illegally placed there and pointed at OP's bedroom.

At best, you could be considered a guest. Since you did not sign a formal lease agreement you are not a tenant.
Idk what you plan to pursue, you got back your rent money and you likely did not give a security deposit. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Yeah that's not how that works. First, they already accepted payment, they can't just decide they didn't. Second, thy need to give a minimum of 30 days notice.

You don't have a lease at the same time they weren't the legal owners or even agents for the owner so you are probably entitled to ALL your money back. Make it the father's problem to sue them. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
It sounds like you know your rights. Use your 30 days to find a new place to live. That's what the law is for - to give you a reasonable time to find something. Alternately, ask for cash for keys. They give you your money back plus enough to keep you housed until you find a place. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
No lease, and probably an illegal sublet, no rights for you. Why don't you live with your parents? | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
It sounds like it was a pretty good deal for you. I’d focus more of my energy on finding a new place… you knew it was an unstable living situation from the beginning. Let this be a lesson for you to do things the right way going forward. Sign a lease! | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Untrue as far as the lease. I once tried kicking out an abusive boyfriend who was NOT on my lease, and even the cops told me that because he had paid a bill (even though it wasn't in his name) I would need to give him 30 days notice to vacate. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
It is highly dependent on many unknown factors: location, agreement (and what’s written in text messages and such), length of stay already, how payment was made and if it was documented as rent payment, and many other factors.

Cops are not lawyers. Just because they didn’t do anything doesn’t mean they can’t.
And if physically abusive, they should have focused on that part, which they likely could have done something about, whether or not on lease. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
Absolutely untrue under every state law I have ever heard of. | r/renters | comment | r/Renters | 2024-22-07 |
