From the shared laundry to a unit's living room, here's what's legal.
When searching for an apartment online we're primed to be on the lookout for red flags: listings that look too good to be true, hidden fees, and sketchy landlords or roommates.
However, the listing prompts an important question: Can landlords or roommates put up cameras in common areas in British Columbia? "They are often used for security and building safety purposes, as well as accountability for any tenants who are causing problems in or damaging common areas," she says. "There are no prohibitions on this."
The Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner has published guidance documents that inform citizens of B.C.'s access and privacy laws and in one such document, Patterson says the OIPC outlines that consent is required to put up a camera and a landlord must be able to prove what kind of information they are collecting and why.
