Brisbane realtor and landlord install cameras INSIDE rented home
Eight housemates in inner Brisbane say they feel as though they are living in the Big Brother house after their landlord installed CCTV cameras inside their home with no notice.

Carpenter Ameya Tidke, 23, and students Daniel Delaney, 22, and Nathan Thomas, 27, say they could not believe it when eight cameras suddenly appeared in their share house at Herston under the instruction of local real estate agency Hive Student Accommodation.

Whether walking in the front door, making dinner or sitting on the couch, they feel as though they’re constantly being watched.


They actually have third world jungle shithole country realtors telling them what to do lol

Good afternoon,

I am writing to you in regards to the CCTV installation at the property.

We have taken your concerns into consideration and liaise with the landlord to come to a reasonable solution.

The landlord had the CCTV cameras installed in the common areas with the best intentions at heart – being that should anything be damaged by any one person, we are able to capture the right person and not have to penalize everyone else for repairs / amends.

The landlord has agreed to the following:

CCTV facing the kitchen will remain CCTV outdoor and under laundry will remain CCTV located in front entry lounge, middle lounge, downstairs will be removed Again, the cameras are currently not activated and do not record audio. We will advise you when they are active for your records.

If you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kind regards, Nhi Huynh Senior Property Manager Hive Office Address: Level 1, 169 Kelvin Grove Road Kelvin Grove, QLD, 4059

Brisbane is easily one of the worst cities I've visited and in the top 4 shithole cities I've lived in. They have the biggest class of scumbag realtors anywhere.

Re: Brisbane realtor and landlord install cameras INSIDE rented home
Real estate agent has broken into my rental twice with a group of people without giving notice. I have PTSD and this is giving me flashbacks

I was asleep and I woke and screamed in terror when 4 men walked into my upstairs bedroom without notice

I’m thankful I can rely on my half asleep self to spring to fight instead of freeze

This is the second time the real estate agent has done this. I got an email saying they would inspect on the 12th, but they never came. They instead came today on the 16th. With no warning.

The real estate agent apologized said “we knocked on the front door but no one answered so I let myself in” THEN CONTINUED TO TAKE A TOUR OF THE HOUSE WHILE I WAS HALF NAKED REPEATEDLY ASKING THEM TO LEAVE

They never gave me their name which by law they’re supposed to

I’m shaking in anger I feel violated. The first time I was awake and nearly by adrenaline rush grabbed a weapon to assault the stranger I thought had broken in. This is a violation of my basic human rights to safety and privacy

My lease is about to end and the real estate agent is forcing us out of the house, they said they need to do a rental clean and then I can reapply and move back in at a higher rate

Is this even legal?

Re: Brisbane realtor and landlord install cameras INSIDE rented home
From Reddit

Oohh I know the Searls personally. I worked for them in my first year of real estate ( fresh out of uni).

Colin (her husband) is ex army who I witnessed on multiple occasions threatening people and I quote “I’ve killed people before, so you won’t be the first”. I had a flat battery in a company car and I thought (as a 19yro) better call racq - he screamed at me for doing so, I should have stood in the sun rather than sit in the aircon car. He had a battery to replace and I was an idiot for calling anyone but him.

I’d drive from Woody Point to Booval doing routine inspections, testing smoke alarms and being yelled at for taking too long.

They are horrible people and I have many stories about them

Re: Brisbane realtor and landlord install cameras INSIDE rented home
Yeah, you guys are nuts

You need to put a stop to these kinds of criminals parading as businesspersons

Based on some of the landlord stories I've read on this sub, you Aussies seriously need some California style tenant protection laws. This scenario would be both a crime (breaking and entering at a minimum) and result in a winner of a civil lawsuit under California (or even NY) law. When you have a leasehold in CA, you are, with some limited exceptions for emergency maintenance or state-mandated inspections, the "owner" of that property for the duration of the leasehold. You can even make modifications or improvements to the property as long as you revert them upon leaving or have the landlord agree to them. There is absolutely no unilateral right of entry by the landlord. Your system seems insane in allowing random inspections etc.

More from the sad people in Brisbane who are happy to be treated like caged animals with few rights in their rentalhouses

Had the EXACT same thing happen when I lived in a house in college with four others. I was in the bathroom, on the toilet, and the agent was trying to get into the bathroom and the lock is rather flimsy so they decided to really push it and it flied open and ta-da.

They claimed they called us three times, so I called them to complain and they claimed they had the wrong number on file. They shared the number and it was one none of the housemates had ever had, so they probably made it up to get them off the hook. I was too tired to fight it, and I'm sure they counted on that
