What is the legal definition of violating one's privacy?
Full Question:
I rent a room in a house and pay rent on a month by month basis (no written lease or agreement). About 1.5 to 1.75 years ago my landlord spoke to me and gave a lengthy list on what I can photograph and what I can't inside and outside the house. Since it was a long list to remember, I asked him to write it down for me or to remind me from time to time. He never did either. I took a photo outside the house and he tells me I violated his privacy. Is he correct?

Answer:
This is a really unique question. Generally, privacy would not be violated by taking a photo outside in the public but if there was an agreement not to photograph, it could be a violation of the agreement. Likewise, if you are on private property when the photos are taken this could also be a violation of privacy, as opposed to being on public property when the photo was take. There are situations where privacy acts limit taking photographs.
