Landlord sneaks in to remove a radio covering up her basement ring camera’s audio feed to keep eavesdropping on tenants: ‘My husband and I are furious. Not only did she not tell us she was going to enter the house, but took the radio without telling us’

Renting a place should not feel like starring in a bad spy movie, yet here we are. The camera in the basement might as well come with theme music because nothing says home sweet home like being quietly monitored by the landlord. She swears it's just for the sump pump, but let's be real, people who peek through cellar doors to collect radios are not exactly models of restraint. The whole thing crosses from quirky to unhinged the minute she decides entering without notice is fair game because she used a different door.

There's being cautious about property and then there's using technology to blur every boundary. No tenant expects total control, but hearing footsteps overhead when you were supposed to be out of sight is a new level of violation. That's not concern, that's obsession dressed up as maintenance. What makes it worse is how calmly she justifies it, as if privacy stops existing below ground level.
