Lieff Cabraser’s Privacy Litigation Group is investigating renter complaints that “smart locks” and similar “smart” features like smart thermostats are illegally collecting and transmitting detailed personal data, including monitoring individual movement to, from, and within people’s homes. These smart devices are more commonly being forced upon tenants by corporate landlords, in what would appear to be direct violation of tenant privacy rights.

If you or a family member rent your home and are concerned about the reported extensive and ongoing privacy violations caused by landlord-mandated smart locks, smart thermostats, and similar “smart” devices, please reach out to us today for more information about your rights and potential recovery.
