Forum / Other / Video Camera in Common living space ( Maryland)

I live in a "house" with 7 other roommates. One of the roommates has decided to put a video camera in the kitchen. Because this is considered a "common area" is it legal for him to do this? I have two problems with this; first, I did not give permission for him to video tape me, second, this camera is set up on a microwave that is the height of all the women's chests in the house. This person does NOT own the house. Is any of this legal?

Because he lives there it is not illegal, so you can't sue. Best option would be to go to your landlord and talk with them about this. Good luck!
