What to do if I have had several full blown panic attacks because my landlord has cameras pointed at our house?
I am even having nightmares of being watched. I now have to close my curtains all of the time. What can I do? It is not anywhere in the lease stating that he does this.

Does he have cameras pointed for security reasons? If so, you may want to inform him in writing that you did not agree to cameras pointed at the home. You tell him this is a material issue and he is breaking the lease by placing these cameras towards the home and it is an invasion of your privacy as you did not agree to be videotaped. Inform your local consumer protection agency regarding this matter and see if anything can be done to make him stop.
