Stephens City, VA asked in Securities Law and Landlord - Tenant for Virginia

Q: I live in an apartment complex. A neighbor recently installed video cameras. He installed not for security but to spy.

He had them facing are building and was told by management to face them in common area and that he could not have cameras on the outside. He took it down but hide it on his balcony in a wreath on that he hung on the storage closet door. He is using them to tattle on anyone walking their dog that pees or poops within 20 feet rule. I feel this is invading our privacy and other tenants as well. What can we do?
