Can I install security cameras or other security measures?

You can ask your landlord for permission to install additional security measures, such as a security system or security camera. Your landlord should not unreasonably turn down your request.1

If you want to install a security system, you should:

  • make your request at least seven days before installation;
  • ensure the quality and safety of the security measures and their installation;
  • pay for the costs of the installation and operation of the security system; and
  • be liable for any damages resulting from the installation.2
