Landlord Question and Answer Forum
I have asked two attorneys and received conflicting opinions. Private property, California, two small cottages in backyard. Tenant installed 3 security cameras by drilling a whole through the house for the cable, (which is not legal as TV dishes are installed a different way now?). Did not ask my permission. The cameras show the entire backyard so when I walk back to do laundry or garden I am being stalked and recorded. (No crime within last 5 years on my street. Very safe here, no one has entered my backyard who didn't belong here.
He just wants a new toy to play with. I don't think it's fair to the other tenant to be monitored when he comes and goes. I feel violated and want the cameras out. He has violated the lease by making "alterations and an addition to the property" which he cannot do according to the lease.
Can I do a 3 day performance quit and serve him or will he legally laugh in my face and tell me no. Attorneys please Help!

RE: Tenant installed 3 video cameras, is legal? No theft ever here.
If there was a clause in your lease that states the tenant needs permission to make any alterations to the property then I would serve a perform or quit notice.
