Bet Bezos legal team comes to back up whoever gets dragged into court first.

Wiretap law is debatable, tort doesn't seem likely (not sure what kleinbl00 is referring to with that one).

The thing is, for court to happen, the landlord has to get caught.

Also, this presupposes they don't require consent as part of the lease, which muddies the waters still further.

edited to add: this also assumes the tenant has the money to sue over it.
