But I concur that would be for the enjoyment of the AT&T board of directors, not the landlord in the case of your apparent statement that phone calls can be legally monitored or recorded by the provider at their whim.
ETA: I'd also be interested to know why renting a house is not a "service" in your book, but renting a phone number or an IP address is a "service".

I said phone call
records can be
obtained, not that the call can or should be monitored legally. Quote if you will, the part where I said they should be able to do this. It is naive to assume that they can't do this legal or not. But saying they can is not the same as saying they should.
And 'in my book' renting a house is a one of kind of transaction. Many people can acquire a service from the same provider. A house rental is generally a one-of kind of thing. One person can rent many houses but they can only rent each one to one person at a time. There are rental services that show multiple people the same house, but the house cannot be rented to multiple users concurrently. And nowhere did I say or imply that anyone should be able to listen to or record your personal life, sexual or not. That anyone would even want to seems just wrong 'in my book' even though I am aware that it can happen.
Again I ask for a quote of the statement that I made saying that this should be allowed to happen. Perhaps I had a senior moment and am missing it in the rereading. Pretty sure I said that they could and did not say or imply they should.
