Just had a question about reasonable expectations of privacy in a condominium building
Hello ****, could you clarify in what context you're asking about privacy? Are you concerned about surveillance, noise, or something else? Also, could you please share your location as privacy laws vary from place to place.
we put up a ring doorbell camera and our homeowners association is telling us that we need to take it down. After looking through our rulebook, nothing states that we cannot have a camera. The only thing that it says is we cannot alter or hang/display anything in the common area
Hello ****, could you kindly provide your location? Laws regarding homeowner's associations and personal security devices can vary widely from place to place.
