Can I record phone conversations with my Landlord without notifying them? (UK Law)
<p>I need to start recording phone calls with my Landlord - must I notify them before doing so? If I must notify them - could I include it in a letter that I send them, that I will record all phone conversations from here forth?</p>

<p>Yes, you can do this.</p>

<p>What you cannot do with the recording though:</p>

<ul>
<li>Publish it (putting it on Facebook or otherwise make it available to anybody other than you)</li>
<li>Sell it</li>
<li>Advertise that you have it and allow others to listen to it (similar to publishing it)</li>
</ul>

<p>But you can, with some additional documentation, use it in a court proceeding provided that you make available the recording to the other party prior to it being entered as evidence in court. </p>

<blockquote>
  <h2>Can a private recording be submitted as evidence in court?</h2>
  
  <p>A private recording can be submitted as evidence, but with some conditions:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>A recording may be relied on in evidence if the court gives permission</li>
  <li>An application for permission should be made on form C2</li>
  <li>The recording should be made available to other parties before any hearing to consider its admissibility.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Covert recordings of children should rarely, if ever, be admitted as evidence, according to section 13(4) of the Children and Families Act 2014.</p>
