Operator of CCTV of a residential building: Insufficient legal basis for data processing

The operator of video cameras on a residential property had installed cameras there to monitor the shared area of two blocks of flats. The data controller argued that the owners had given their consent to this by signing the notarised purchase contracts. However, the data protection authority had denied this after checking the contracts.
