Photos taken during tenancy inspection

Hi – I have searched the Forum but cannot see that this question has been asked and answered previously.  Are there any rules around property managers taking photos of the property during tenant rental inspections?  

I recently had this come up for the first time after over 20 years of renting and after researching on the net I couldn’t see that there are any guidelines on this.  I ended up communicating directly with the property manager before the inspection to confirm that whilst I understood the need for the landlord to see the condition of the property, I wanted to ensure the photos would be shared for that purpose only and not bandied about for want of a better expression!  She agreed that I could also move any of my personal identifying property (say, photos, etc) if she wanted to take specific photos of something.  I ended up removing that sort of stuff before the inspection but given that some insurance providers expect you to do all possible things to keep your property secure, not having control over photos taken within your property could be in opposition to that (for example, I couldn’t really ‘hide’ my TV or sound system!).

Does anyone know if there are any specific rules property agents need to follow when it comes to this issue or does it all just fall under general privacy?  I made the specific point to my property manager that I didn’t want these particular photos on Domain or the like if the property was to be rented.  She acknowledged my e-mail so I’m guessing she agreed!
