Potential tenants is asking for a Ring Doorbell

Dan Marl
Posted

I have a potential tenant who is asking for a Ring Doorbell at the frontdoor at a house in Texas.  I have a have one at home and I have installed a few for friends and family so I am very familiar with the product and monthly plans. I don't mind paying for one and installing it.  But I have a few concerns.

1. If I pay for it and it's registered to their email. If they move out and forget to deregister the doorbell from their email, the doorbell is useless for me.  

2. Or should it should be register to me and I share out the doorbell for them to use?  However this involves privacy laws now.  If they want video recording, how should they be charged? 

I am thinking they should pay for it, I install and setup the configuration (Wifi). They pay for recordings if they wish.  When they move out, they take it with them.

Does anyone have experience with video doorbells in their LTR?

I would have them do it. Not worth the headache. It's not a necessity, it's a want.
