How can an inspection be non-intrusive if it consists of physically entering a guest's room? As an aside, I was hoping I could attend this year but my company said there wasn't enough budget 🙄. Whenever I attend Defcon or Blackhat, I stay in hotels not directly within the vicinity of the con because of all the shenanigans.
Non-Intrusive in that they enter the room, which is their property and they have the right to enter, but they aren't going through your stuff.
Renters have rights.
They do, and you agree to whatever rights are outlined in the rental agreement when you check in and sign the forms.
There are rights you can't give up even by signing them away.
On private property, you agree to the terms the property owner sets.
There are still rights you 100% cannot sign away regardless of what property you are on.
There are also rights people think they have on private property that they absolutely do not have. ;)
There is a difference between being a customer in a store and a resident in a rental property.
Tenants have rights.
Hotel guests are not the same as tenants in a rental home though.
Im pretty sure hotel guests are more close to being customers than a rental resident.
So you can't sign away your right to not have your room searched on the owner's property?
You're getting upvotes and the other guy down. Based on feelings.
Legal chapter and verse please.
As a parent, I have the right to enter my kids' rooms anytime I want. If I don't do it respectfully, it will definitely be intrusive.
The hotel does have their rights. When they abuse those rights, it becomes intrusive. Rights don't really have anything to do with feeling that someone is being intrusive.
