Maybe even the outside of windows, but not with a view inside. If not, LET THEM KNOW!Ĭameras on outside exits would be fine. And if privacy is assumed, it should be private. Doesn't matter if it's a hall, living room, or common area - people have all sorts of habits they'd rather the world not know about. let's just say it would cause more trouble for them than any of their TVs or night-tables could be worth.

And if I ever caught someone filming me in a rental house/apartment without consent and prior notice. Just the idea of someone watching you living in your temporary home is super-creepy. I would never in a million years stay in a place I found had cameras. Unless you are set up as a business, private individuals are opening themselves up to a lot of liability.įirst off, it is a horrible idea to put cameras anywhere inside the house. You are responisble for your space as well as the safety and wellbeing of your guests to the extent of your respective state and Federal laws. Many people do not realize that once they list their properties on Airbnb that they are essentially in the same business as a hotel. If you videod your guests having sex without their knowledge or videoed a naked child you could be charged in some states with sex offenses and possibly be listed on a sex offense registry. I am not sure why a host would open themselves up to such liabilities. The owner could possibly be charged with secret peeping among other types of charges. This is a total invasion of privacy and this is illegal in many states. If I found a hidden camera inside the private space of the residence, that was not disclosed, I would absolutely sue the host and Airbnb as well as charge the host with whatever I could in their respctive state.
