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