Hi. I'm reading your discussion about CCTV in an HMO. You indicated that anyone having CCTV in the common areas of the property needs to comply with the Data Protection Act rules and regulations. What specifically do I need to do in order to be compliant?

Yes.
Ok. You need to have signs up, register with the Information Commissioner and comply with this guide:

Does that help?

So, if I understand you correctly, as long as we follow the CCTV code of practice and register with the Information Commissioner, we will be OK? Is it difficult or very involved to register with the IC?
That is correct. Its easy to register. Please also see:

Does that help?

Yes, I believe it does. One more question, if I may. Since we already have a large (one foot square) sign outside the house (pasted to the window by the front door), do we need more signs inside as well?

No, that should be ok.
