Long story short,
I'm currently renting a room with other tenants in a 2 story house, and so I asked the Landlord for permission to install 2 security cameras to watch over the parking lot (mainly to my 3 vehicles) in case there were any property damaged caused by the other tenants.
Today, one of the tenants who has a habit of making trouble, was yelling and arguing with the landlord while the landlord was doing small repairs. They argued underneath my cameras and so the cameras captured the incident.
The landlord leaves and I get back home 1 hour later. As soon as I parked, the tenant that was arguing came up to me and asked if my cameras records audio. I said, "I'm not answering any of your questions," and he replied, "Did you know it's illegal to record my conversation? I'm gonna sue you!!!"
So now the question is, can he legally sue me for this even though I received permission from the landlord?
