A client had this scenario:

Tenant at a duplex wants to install Ring security system. Wants to put a camera on her front porch. There’s no way to avoid it viewing the driveway which means the comings and goings of the other tenant.

She asked permission so what would you say?

I would approve it since she is paying for it. Plus, if someone thinks they need security they won't renew lease without it I bet.

maybe you could try for saying the camera becomes a fixture of the building and stays if she moves out. Then you get a little value add.

@Jeremy Goodrich   If it affects the other tenant's privacy, I would talk to them.  There should be a way to angle it or put something up to allow the other tenant to keep their privacy.

@Jeremy Goodrich , if the driveway common area property used by others, then no big deal.  Perhaps the requesting tenant WANTS to keep an eye on the others using the driveway?  

To me, the camera is not a concern as long as it is not in my personal private domain. A camera/video covering the public sidewalk, public street or common driveway is a no nevermind.  

People do not have a right to privacy in public areas. Notify the other tenants that the camera will be installed. Let them view a sample photo of what can be seen once it is installed so they know not to pick up the newspaper in the nude or deal weed in the driveway.

 I'd say yes. No reason to deny this request.

 The other tenant's privacy is not effected in anyway. There is no expectation of privacy in public, which is exactly where this camera would be located.
