Have you asked for clarification on the terms of the addendum?

I'm guessing the situation is that networkable cameras have been installed and that they're being accessed remotely by management or a security company they hired.

I'm also actually surprised they even bothered to notify you and have the addendum. It'd be nice if they just said that or offered that as an immediate explanation. But they probably just got boilerplate text designed to be as broad as possible. Nothing necessarily sinister but lazy/cheap.



  > Nothing necessarily sinister but lazy/cheap.
This attitude really irks me sometimes. Once you've signed off on that overly broad language, do you think that the management company wouldn't take full advantage of it if there was a way for them to profit off of it?

Lazy/cheap is no excuse for attempting to pool as much power in your corner as possible 'just in case.' Once you've gained all of that power 'just for defensive purposes' there is nothing to stop you from using it offensively.


It's ok to be evil, as long as it's just because it was too darn much work to be good.
