My current flat is probably CRAZY! The landlord almost doesn't do anything, a couple tenant own and have control of cctvs ALMOST EVERYWHERE outside and inside of the whole property including the entrance where deliveries fall into. The cctvs are even audio recording. Almost no privacy in my flat. Crazy busybody nosy couple. Might want to move out soon.

The landlord COMPLETELY DOES NOT CARE their tenants have full control of loads of cctvs ALMOST EVERYWHERE in their property. It seems to be the couple's property.

This isn’t common.

Familiar with smart video doorbells but CCTV inside the property is excessive. 

Have you communicated your concerns? Might be better off looking for another property.

Are all the cctvs  in/covering communal areas only, or are there any inside your flat? 

If they are covering the communal areas, then it is a leaseholder issue to sort, not the landlord, unless the landlord is also the leaseholder.

What are "smart video doorbells"?

Hmm... some people say some landlords have cctvs in communal spaces(Inside areas)

I have spoke with many people and the ICO and the ICO said landlords can put cctvs outside and inside communal spaces such as kitchen in the property.

Also an IFA, CAB advisor and social carrer told me it is common in this generation that most properties have cctvs and cameras in them.

All the cctvs are in communal areas(None in my room, in the bath room and in my flat's kitchen unless they have some crazy !!!!!! like camouflage cctvs or a cctv they can put where people can't/is hard to notice)

What is a leaseholder and why not them?

Did they? It’s certainly not common for most properties to have cameras at all, let alone inside them. 

(IFA as in independant financial advisor ?)
