Sandy* noticed eight cameras when she inspected the home last month, but had been assured they were inactive.
With no other option to house herself and her children, she signed a lease, and moved in at the end of July.
“Something just didn’t feel right,” she said.
Then on her first night in the home, she walked into the lounge room and a camera lit up.

Sandy said the three property managers and the owner of the agency said they did not know who owned the cameras.
I would 100% be pouring water through the NVR.
I wonder if that would get taken out of your bond. I’d tape over the front to start with but they might still get audio… move out asap if you have the chance.
They said they didn’t know who it belonged to. Hard to turn around and try to claim it on the bond after that. Especially when it was illegal for it to be there anyway.
if they are not on the initial condition report, they are fair game (and even if they were, I’d be looking into legal advice at this point). This agency has opened themselves up huge here by not acting on the situation
