According to a CBC news report, a tenant studying at the University of Victoria alleges her landlord used a camera hidden in her bathroom to secretly film her for years.
The case was filed in the Supreme Court of B.C.
The tenant, Devon Harrington, states in the suit she rented the basement unit from landlord Robin Mitchell and his wife beginning in August 2008.
The rent was $675 per month.
In the suit, the tenant claims she found a video camera in the bathroom of her rental recording her showering, changing clothes and even using the toilet. This had been going on for nearly 32 months.
The tenant also claims the landlord, a senior bureaucrat in the government of B.C. who is an expert at computer software, even made videos of the secret filming and posted them on the internet and shared the videos with friends.
The tenant claims she is feeling humiliated and is a state of depression.
Harrington is suing for damages.
