Just learned some interesting things about house am in...and the landord [View All]

[Whoa_Nelly]

Just met my next door neighbor. She used to live in the house am in now. She said the landlord is coming to town this weekend...she learned this from the lawn guy today.

Apparently, the landlord thinks he can just unlock the door and walk in unannounced. Did that to her last year. She was taking a shower, and he just let himself in. She heard something, went into the living room wrapped in a towel. He was in there doing something to the wall. Said he didn't think anyone was home, so he just let himself in.

She also told me that he will arrive without calling and setting up a 24-hour notice, and expects to be let in. The idiot has another thing coming if he does that to me. In fact, should I go anywhere this weekend, will be leaving a notice on my front door that he WILL NOT let himself in, and he WILL call me to set up a 24-hour notice to enter the premises.

I just wrote him a nasty 4-page letter, (albeit, a well-written formal letter after talking with an attorney), about the things that were promised to be done when I rented this place two months ago, and have yet to be done. By putting it in writing, even though some of the things are noted on the official walk-through document, the attorney said the landlord will have official notice to remedy in 30 days, or the landlord can choose to end the lease, or I have the right to vacate without owing for the remainder of the lease.

I kind of have a thing for both parties abiding by written contract, and also a thing about people taking my money and acting as if I should just roll over and take it up the ass because they own the property.

Nope...I don't roll over, and I expect the landlord to follow the law and the contract.

Hah! So take that Mr. Landlord!
