The consent and privacy rules vary wildly by state - some places are strict about disclosure while others give landlords more leeway, so you really need to check your local laws rather than assume a blanket rule applies everywhere. The part about bathrooms and bedrooms is solid, but even in common areas like hallways or kitchens, some states require explicit tenant permission before recording starts. Exterior cameras aimed at your own property are usually fine, but pointing them at neighboring yards or public streets can get tricky depending on where you live.
Most states require landlords to notify tenants before installing security cameras, and you absolutely can't put them in private spaces like bathrooms or bedrooms. Common areas and exterior property are generally fair game, but check your local laws since rules vary a lot by jurisdiction. Some places require written consent, others just need verbal notice. If you're renting out a unit, get clarity on tenant privacy laws in your state before mounting anything - it's easier than dealing with legal trouble later.
