Hello good evening .

Sorry hear that . That’s discusting spying on you and walk in like that .

No that is not legal .

Landlord has no rights to came to property with out advanced notice .

He needs to call ask if is ok to came by .

Can’t walk in any time he likes whenever he likes .

n cctv inside the rooms ? That’s freaky . N creepy . Spying on people with no consent ?

Was you ever told or says in contract ?

I’m sure that is not legal . Is invading your privacy rights . Is abuse .

I would research google , ask citizen advise or legal advise . And I wouldn’t be shy to prosecute the landlord either . Rip as much money out of him as can possibly imagine .

CCTV and walk himself / herself in just like that ?

What is this is : Bates Motel ?

Made me sick just to read . Sorry to hear that

Respect

There should be signs up to say CCTV is recording in order for it to be legal. I have researched this previously because I have CCTV outside myself. If the CCTV is in any of the living areas tenants occupy then that is definitely illegal.

Work in the Security industry

Cctv law is and surely you’re landlord broke the law pertaining to cctv use

Hope things get better soon for you

A landlord has to give you a minimum of 24 hrs notice to visit a property.You can ask to be present they can't just turn up unanounced and let themselves in.I have heard of a landlord who helped themselves to a tennants property to recover unpaid rent or bills.Highly illegal."
he walkec in once without notice but its alarming that he has cctv from a privacy point of view i have teenage kids im going to take advice thanks xx

I’ve worked for a social housing provider who have provided emergency / shared accommodation.

It’s completely legal to have CCTV inside the communal areas of the property (shared kitchen/shared lounge/corridors etc) as long as it’s well signposted and you are informed when taking up the tenancy.

The landlord can also access these shared areas with minimal or no warning, as they often need to access and welcome new residents to the property, or help clean the communal areas.

It is however illegal to have any CCTV in any areas which are solely used by one resident (eg bedroom) and when accessing these areas the landlord would need to give you prior warning.

Landlords can only let themselves in without notice if its an absolute emergency - but they still have to make contact. By emergency, we're talking gas or water leak while you aren't there, or something major.

We had issues with a private landlord coming in and not telling us for very minor reasons. Its a horrible feeling of invasion, and we never quite felt settled there again.

As far as I'm aware, emergency housing the rules are still the same; they need to give you notice of any reason they need to come into the property, unless it's an emergency and they can't get access via yourself. They shouldn't be letting themselves in for any other reason.

Definitely chase it up, citizens advice bureau is probably a good place to get cohesive advice.
