Can a landlord put cameras in or around a rental?
Short answer: Cameras inside a tenant's home generally violate the tenant's privacy and may break state privacy, eavesdropping or voyeurism laws. Cameras in exterior and common areas are usually allowed, but audio recording is more restricted in many states.
If you find a hidden camera inside your unit, document it and contact police and a tenant lawyer.

| Alaska | No landlord-specific statute. General laws apply: using a device to hear or record an oral conversation without the consent of a party to it is illegal eavesdropping, and knowingly viewing or photographing a person's private exposure of intimate parts where they reasonably expect not to be seen is a crime (a security-surveillance defense requires posted notice and use only for crime prevention). AS 42.20.310; AS 11.61.123; AS 34.03.140 |
| Arizona | No landlord-specific statute. It is a felony to knowingly photograph, film, record or secretly view a person without consent in a bathroom, bedroom or other place where they expect privacy while they are undressed or in similar situations; security cameras are exempt only if notice is clearly posted.

Code Ann. §§ 5-16-101, 5-60-120 |

| Delaware | No landlord-specific statute, but Delaware's privacy law applies directly: it is a crime to install, in any private place, a device for observing, photographing or recording sounds or events without the consent of the persons entitled to privacy there, or to use a device outside a private place to pick up sounds from inside that would not ordinarily be audible. Recording people undressing where they expect privacy, and intercepting private communications without consent, are also crimes. 11 Del. C. § 1335(a)(1)-(4), (6); 25 Del. C. § 5509 |
| District of Columbia | No landlord-specific statute. It is a crime to install or maintain a peephole, mirror or any electronic device to secretly observe someone using a bathroom, undressing or engaged in sexual activity, or to record such a person without express and informed consent where they expect privacy. Intercepting oral or wire communications is illegal unless the person is a party or one party consents. Bathrooms and bedrooms must be private under the Housing Code.

Idaho Code §§ 18-6605; 18-6702; Idaho AG, Landlord and Tenant Manual (July 2026), pp. 10–11 |
| Illinois | No landlord-specific statute, but Illinois law expressly protects renters: it is a crime to knowingly video record or live-stream another person in that person's residence without consent — and 'residence' expressly includes a rental dwelling (but not stairwells, corridors, laundry facilities, or other areas open to the public). Placing such a device is a Class A misdemeanor; recording is a Class 4 felony. Audio recording of private conversations without the consent of all parties is eavesdropping. 720 ILCS 5/26-4(a-5), (a-6), (a-20), (d), (e); 720 ILCS 5/14-2 |
| Indiana | No landlord-specific statute. Peeping into an occupied dwelling of another person, or into an area where people are expected to disrobe (restrooms, baths, showers, dressing rooms), without consent is voyeurism — a Class B misdemeanor, raised to a Level 6 felony when committed by camera. Using a concealed camera to capture an intimate image counts as 'peeping.' A landlord must give reasonable notice before entry, enter only at reasonable times, and may not use entry to harass.

Using a device to overhear or record others' oral or wire communications without the consent of at least one party is eavesdropping (Class D felony).

KRS 531.090; KRS 526.010, 526.020; KRS 383.615 |
| Louisiana | No landlord-specific statute. Video voyeurism is a crime. It means using any camera or image-recording device, including a drone, to observe, photograph or film a person without consent to that specific instance, either for a lewd or lascivious purpose or in certain intimate circumstances where the person has a reasonable expectation of privacy. Recording conversations is lawful if the person recording is a party or one party gave prior consent, unless it is done to commit a crime, tort or other injurious act. La. R.S. 14:283(A); La. R.S. 15:1303(C)(4) |
| Maine | No landlord-specific statute. Under the general privacy crime, it is a Class D crime to install or use a device to observe, photograph or record in a 'private place' (such as a bathroom or bedroom) without the consent of those entitled to privacy there.

Intercepting oral or wire communications is a Class C crime unless the person recording is the sender or receiver of the communication. Cameras in common areas aren't specifically regulated. 17-A M.R.S. § 511; 15 M.R.S. §§ 709, 710 |
| Maryland | No landlord-specific statute, but strong criminal rules apply. A person may not place a camera on real property where a private residence is located to deliberately and secretly observe someone inside the residence. It is not a defense that the defendant owns the residence. Exceptions include cameras placed with an adult resident's consent and cameras without intent to secretly observe people inside. Violations are a misdemeanor (up to 1 year and/or $2,500) and give the person observed a civil claim for damages and attorney fees. Secret surveillance with prurient intent in a private place such as a bedroom or bathroom is separately a crime. Recording private conversations generally requires the consent of ALL parties. Md. Code, Crim. Law § 3-903; § 3-902; Cts. & Jud. Proc. § 10-402(c)(3) |
| Massachusetts | No landlord-specific statute. Massachusetts is an all-party-consent state: secretly recording a conversation without the prior authority of ALL parties is a crime. It is also a crime to secretly photograph, videotape or electronically surveil someone who is nude or partially nude where they would reasonably expect privacy, without their knowledge and consent. The penalty is up to 2½ years in a house of correction and/or a $5,000 fine. Visible cameras in common areas aren't specifically regulated, but audio recording in those cameras raises wiretap concerns. M.G.L. c. 272, § 99 (definition of 'interception'); c. 272, § 105(b) |
| Michigan | No landlord-specific statute, but Michigan law is strict. It is a felony to install, place or use in any private place, without the consent of the people entitled to privacy there, a device for observing, recording, transmitting, photographing or eavesdropping. The penalty is up to 2 years and/or $2,000, or up to 5 years for repeat offenses or for distributing the images. A 'private place' is one where a person can reasonably expect to be safe from casual or hostile intrusion or surveillance; places with public access are excluded. Security monitoring in a residence by its owner or principal occupant is allowed unless done for a lewd purpose. Eavesdropping means overhearing or recording private conversation without the permission of ALL participants. Trespassing to conduct surveillance is a misdemeanor. MCL 750.539d; MCL 750.539a; MCL 750.539b |
