We trust rental hosts with our privacy when we book a vacation. We assume the space is ours for the weekend. Unfortunately, stories of hidden cameras in rentals are becoming terrifyingly common.

They often claim it is for “property protection,” but it is a massive violation. You need to know how to sweep a room the moment you arrive.
