State Specific Question About: CALIFORNIA (CA)
What rights do tenants have to record audio or video of their landlord or repair crews, in the home?
Do they have to notify about recording?
Deeper question-If the tenant is in their unit, along with an outside repair crew (hired by landlord), and the crew manager calls the landlord over speaker phone to include the tenant; AND the tenant just happens to have something recording the repair effort, which obviously then records that 3 way conversation; can the tenant then use that recording in a legal proceeding?

Lease terms give Landlord the right to record in all common areas of the building.
It also states common areas include living rooms and kitchens.
I agree this clears the landlord of any legal repercussions. But do these lease terms apply in a reverse manner?
Meaning because the landlord created a recorded space aspect and duly informed the tenants of the possibility of being recorded even in their kitchen or living room; can the tenant claim that means all parties have been fully informed and bypass privacy rights?
Should tenants have to inform landlords or workers, that they are recording inside the apartment?
