Sandy* noticed eight cameras when she inspected the home last month, but had been assured they were inactive.

With no other option to house herself and her children, she signed a lease, and moved in at the end of July.

"Something just didn't feel right," she said.

Then on her first night in the home, she walked into the lounge room and a camera lit up.

...

Sandy said the three property managers and the owner of the agency said they did not know who owned the cameras.

I would 100% be pouring water through the NVR.

Man this agency's story is so full of holes.

They don't know who the cameras belong to, but they can't possibly remove it because it's "a high-end system costing thousands of dollars"?

Fuck "an official request with the real estate agency to terminate the lease", the people running the agency are criminals. So is the owner of the property, if they had any involvement in this. They should be arrested and gaoled; this is not some petty civil dispute.

If there's kids in the house, there's footage on those cams that can get them done for CP

I came back from a work trip once and a landlord had installed cameras in my house with my wife and kids in it.

I ripped it out, took it apart, destroyed the hard drive and told the real estate who had no idea they'd even came around to install it.
