Landlord Camera Privacy Violation

Summary

In Alberta, tenants have a reasonable expectation of privacy. Landlords cannot install cameras in private areas without tenant consent. If your landlord has placed cameras in your rental unit without your consent, it likely violates your privacy rights. You can file a complaint with the Alberta Residential Tenancy Dispute Resolution Service (RTDRS) or the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta. If your landlord does not comply with your request to remove the cameras, filing a complaint is the appropriate course of action.
