Landlord Caught on Security Camera Having Sex Inside Rented Westland Home

Tenants handed time-stamped footage to police, leaving prosecutors to decide whether the conduct amounts to a crime or a civil lease violation.

Overview

  • A home security camera recorded the landlord naked and engaging in sex with a woman inside the Westland rental while the tenants were at the hospital, the tenants said.
  • The tenants confronted the landlord by phone, say he responded "So?" and hung up, and they turned the time-stamped video over to local police.
  • Reporters who contacted prosecutors and defense attorneys found legal opinion split; some raised trespassing as a possible charge while others called it primarily a breach of the lease.
  • The tenants said they cleaned the house and are hiring outside contractors to complete repairs so the landlord will not need to enter the home again.
  • Police have the video but no public criminal charges have been announced, and any formal action will depend on the outcome of the law enforcement review and prosecutorial discretion.
