Landlord family living in my apartment

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

So your travel decisions are based on whether bars are open or not?

You and this thread are starting to give me a trollish vibe. Where is Camnivag these days, anyway?

As they've seemed to have found his camera and turned it off, I'd argue that he shouldn't be liable for his rent from the first time he can prove someone else was in his room until the day he returns. But since he mentioned he only paid 2 months in advance for the time he'd be out of country, any time beyond those 2 months gets a bit quirky.

And because this is the KOW, he should probably consider himself lucky to get anything abated. But my hopes are with him.

It is entirely his right to use it, whether he's currently living in the unit or not, since he maintains the lease and had purchased the camera equipment. All HIS belongings were left in the room. I just hope they're still there and in same condition as when he left.

Who the hell are any of you to question him about when he should turn the camera on or off??? For god sake, get off your fucking horses!
Just because you can (or have the right) doesn’t mean you should
Ok, tell us why he shouldn't?
Because vouyerism is still considered unsavoury by the mass public.

"On the bright side, 3 days ago I was scanning through video and saw the son’s wife sitting on sofa next to him and all of a sudden she whips off her top and starts rubbing some kind of moisturizer or whitening cream or stretch mark cream on her saggy breasts and stomach. Almost makes it all worthwhile. The guy tried for a cheeky grope but she slapped his hand away."

"I just scanned through some footage and i notice the wife and child have been gone awhile and I’m 80% sure the husband fucked another woman but it must have been fast like five minutes."

I'm not saying security cameras are bad but a bit more discretion might not be a bad thing to stop people like me thinking he's becoming a bit pervy.
If the family/people hadn't illegally encroached upon his room, then he'd have nothing to report. They've got only themselves to blame.
I can see your perspective. However, the OP has evidence of wrong doing already. How is it NOT bad behaviour to perve on people regardless of whether they are behaving lawfully or morally?

I was used to having cameras inside and outside my house in the USA for security because I grow plants and had sketchy neighbors, I just have a small hidden camera though in Cambodia I use it to watch my apartment when i am gone for the day or watch the maids.

I use it in hotels too. I once caught a bargirl in Pattaya going through all my stuff when I was asleep and stealing my watch and I showed it to the police and then went back to the bar the next night and they “convinced” her to give it back.

Anyway I told the sister that yes I have a camera and I have saved a lot of footage but I will delete it all if they waive all rent until I come back.

I think I will go back sooner rather than later maybe in about a month if the bar lockdown is over.
Good, now they can decide whether to provide you with more nudity or sex shows.

When I said earlier to ignore their question, I wasn’t thinking about the fact you were still observing them in such ‘positions’

I searched the internet to better understand what is legal and moral in a situation where the camera is in your rented property. It doesn’t fully answer my questions but helps

Agreed. The camera certainly seems to be working for and extraordinary amount of time. By the OP's comments it seems like the camera is recording a lot every day so if its running off a battery I'm fairly sure it would have been empty after the first couple of weeks.

Hmmm. good that you caught her. Got to ask though, was it turned on the whole time she was in your room...without her knowledge? Because that's beyond inappropriate.
You know that tingly little feeling you get when you really like someone? That's common sense leaving your body.
