Can my landlord go into my bedroom?
I received notification that my landlord was going to enter my apartment to change the filter in the furnace. I found out they went into my bedroom when their letter never notified me that they would be entering my bedroom. I thought that they have to notify the tenant of his or her intent to enter the property and since my bedroom was not stated, can they do that?
Additional Details
I believe the Tenant Act in Ohio states that the Landlord must give 24 hour notice before entering and it must state their purpose, where and what they are doing; which the bedroom was not included on the notice.

If you say they can, other wise, you can call the landlord and tell him you'll do it yourself.

Your lease stops at the front door. If they gave you notification prior to entering your apartment, then they can go wherever they want. They own the property.


Muschi
The landlord gave you notice to enter your apartment, that includes each room. He does not have to give you extra notice for each room.

EDIT:
"I received notification that my landlord was going to enter my apartment..." that means that he can enter your apartment, it does not exclude any rooms.


Don't cha?
Unless your bedroom is not located IN the apt then there is nothing you can do. They DID notify you that they would enter the apt. YOUR bedroom IS in the apt and therefore is covered under "we will be IN your apt on ......... to replace the filter".


TheMom
Oh course they can enter, they OWN the place. They can inspect every inch of their property.

YOUR property, the furnature, etc can not be accessed, but the structure is not yours, it is theirs and you have no rights to bar them access to their property.


conundrum
If I am not mistaken, your Landlord can look around the apartment as long as they have Given you adequate Notice and that they don't go through your Drawers and open up suitcases- that would breach the Notification rules. For Instance they may have wanted to Check whether the heat from the Furnace would be coming through your Bedroom vent and that there was No blockage or whether part of the Duct in the ceiling had collapsed. Just my 2 cents on the matter- someone who has a renters Guide may think otherwise. Do you have any reason to Mistrust your landlord? By the way how do you know they entered your Bedroom- Crumbs?

Well he did provide you notice to enter, he doesn't have to specify exactly where just that he needs to enter and for what purpose. Sorry he did everything right.


She Knows
It really depends on your lease. Read the fine print of your lease; it will dictate everything.

If your lease is silent on the issue (it's not specifically stated), consult the state statutes for your state. Leasehold interest rights/laws vary with every state.

Best of luck!


psarno
Unfortunately, if you read your lease most likely it says they can enter your apartment whenever they NEED to but they have to give you notice. Make sure you read your lease first then confront him and make sure you tell him that you do not want them to enter your bedroom unless notified. But sometimes they may need to and you really cannot do anything about it. If there is a problem in your apartment they really do not know until they get there where the problem is...so they arent going to wait to get your permission to enter your bedroom....that is what kinda sucks about renting.


yazgoeskaboom
Check your lease. Some say that the landlord can enter at any time.

im guessing they didnt think it was a big problem. because everyone views it differently, you may think it was an invasion of privacy, and he may just want to get the job done.

they can do that, just shouldn't. it is in fact an invasion of privacy and trespassing(depends)

tell him next time to note fine you

It is different from state to state. In general they have to notify you 24 hours in advance of entering your apartment except in an emergency. Where they go in your apartment isn't really limited in my state but it is still weird.


robert h
No he cannot try telling him before thinking of sueing him because if you lose you will be counter sued


Chris
in the law its says that a land lord is not allowed to go in to its clients property unless with a warrant or your permission and unless they ask you they can not go into your bedroom because they have to be specific of where they are entering


Huriel A
they should have notified you but they also had to change it
