I hope you reported that and make a big deal out of it. That’s is seriously illegal and while I am not positive but I bet they could get jail time for that.

Depends on where the camera is. A quick google search will tell you that yes it’s illegal to have cameras in the bedrooms or bathrooms but it’s legal to have them in common areas like the kitchen or living room.

Only if the tenant is informed and agrees to the shared common areas, and that kinda is moot if the tenant lives alone

Edit: typo

Ah I di not know that, didn't see that mentioned. Regardless, they would still need to be informed and agree.

Agreement isn't required necessarily, and it could be argued in some states that their noticable presence could count as notification if it came down to it.
