5. I missed the landlord thing.

You mean your landlord goes into your place without knocking or calling first? I don't think that's even legal.

7. Yeah, entering w/o emergency or notice is a hugh! fair housing violation

If he does it, take him to court. Also, when he does enter you have the option for scheduling that entry for your convenience, at a time when you can be home to let him in.

Unless your rental agreement says you can't (and surprisingly few boilerplate rental agreements mention it,) change the locks and "forget" to give him your spare key.

[Whoa_Nelly]

8. Lease states I can't change locks without permission

But it DOES state the law regarding notice or emergency entry

Haha, Mr. Landlord! :D

9. good for you!

I think that makes it pretty clear. Way to go. :woohoo:

[Whoa_Nelly]

10. Someone needs to put the stops on this landlord!

Might as be me :evilgrin:

11. I love those signs! My sister needed them in the late 80s...

..Her landlord, a professor at UNC-CH, thought that since her apartment was his property, he could enter anytime he liked for any reason. He owned the house where it was (house was divided into three apartments). He was originally from Egypt and treated women like dirt. The renters (two women and one man) talked with each other, and apparently he didn't do that to the man. The two women were treated terribly, and that kind of treatment upset my sister a lot. One Saturday morning, she had just gotten out of the shower and had her hair up in a towel. She had just dried off and thought she heard something in her kitchen. She wrapped a towel around herself and saw him there, looking through her stuff. He said (without even batting an eyelash), "You should not be cooking fish in here. You need an air refreshener." (Yes, he said "refreshener".) Sis was stunned, but she said, "You scared the hell out of me! I know you own the building, but the lease says you must give adequate notice of entering the apartment before you can." He said: "I have a key. I can enter anytime I like." She said: "No, you can't. It's a violation of state law." He got mad and left. She called the police non-emergency number and they told her that yes indeed, it was a violation of law. The officer told her that he was documenting it and that if it happened again, they'd send the guy a warning.

Well, two weeks later, she was fixing dinner (no, not fish :rofl:), and she hears a key in the door. Lo and behold, it's the landlord who wanted to ask her if she was renewing her lease. (It was up in six weeks.) She went ballistic and told him, "HELL NO! Not if you just barge in anytime you feel like it." He huffed out and went over to the other woman's apartment and did the same thing. Her neighbor came over shortly after and asked her if he'd barged in again on her too. They called the cops, and they dispatched an officer to the guy's house (where he lived, not the rental property). He argued with the cop too. Sis moved out gladly when her lease was up, and so did the other woman. I don't know what happened to the guy.

I'm sorry your landlord is such a shit. :hug: Sis' landlord was too. :(

12. Great story! Thanks for sharing it!

Am glad I took the time to meet my neighbor last night who also rents from this guy. It is a good thing she geve me the heads-up about this guy, and that she learned from the lawn guy that he's planning on coming to town this weekend to check on the properties.

Bite Me, Mr. Landlord! You have to follow the law! Hah! :evilgrin:

on edit:
Wow! It just occured to me WHY he never responded to my written request to have a wireless security system put in. Uh-huh....now I totally get the big picture on this guy!

13. It's too subtle. You need to make it more obvious.

:D just kidding....

actually, it's great. definitely gets the message across. :thumbsup:

[Whoa_Nelly]

14. Now let's see if he actually pays it heed.

Becasue if he doesn't, he will when I sic the cops on him. :D
