I live in NC and rent under 1 yr lease. Can the owners show the house for sale?? (See details!)?

The property mgmt co. managing the property asked if we would show the house (and leave for showings) if given 24 hours notice. We reluctantly agreed as we were led to believe we have no choice. The owners (w/o the property mgmt groups knowledge) have since called non stop wanting to show with little or no notice and today I came home to find out someone had been here during the day w/o notification. I feel like our privacy has been invaded...there is a lockbox on the door...and the real estate agent shared with me that the owner told them they are no longer requiring 24 hours notice to show the property. Do I have any right to refuse the house being shown???

sylviavnpttn

Under contract law- if it states in the contract that you must be given a certain number of hours before showing then YOU MUST BE given that time. Now as for an agent being in your home without notice- call your real estate board and file a complaint against the agent. NeXt, YES you can refuse to show the property until you have been given proper notice to show. Lodge the complaints, call the owners- tell them you are filing a complaint for trespassing- until they can get it straight there will be no more showings. END OF STORY. PERIOD.

The landlord MUST give 24 hours notice unless it's an emergancy (Fire, water damager, ect) there is no reason what so ever they can just allow someone to show with out 24 hours notice. That being said good luck trying to inforce this we had a landlord long ago who felt since he owned the house he do what he pleased and we couldn't get any one to back us up.

I own a home in NC that I am renting out. I cannot go on or into the property without notification to the tenants--it's in the lease.

SndChaser

Yes, if your lease says you're to get 24 hour notice, thats what you can hold them to. You can also request that they remove the lockbox from the property, unless you signed a written lockbox authorization.

Maybe you can work some arrangement with the owner to accommodate showings in return for reduced rent during the period the property is on the market. Otherwise you can be a stickler and insist on 24 hour notice with no lockbox.

camopaiser

yes you do!!! most states require a 24 hr notice. You should look in your lease before making a deal out of it. if it says they have the right to enter they do. Other wise Make a huge mess and let them be embarrassed of the show. It is illegal for them to enter your home with less than a 24 hr notice. You are still in contract!!!

x_rigger_x

absolutely!!!!! you may be renting and it may not be your house but as long as you are the tenant there they have no right to enter the property without your permission unless its an emergency and it does not sound like that.....

charmedchiclet

The landlord MUST give you 24 hours notice unless you clear in writing that you don't need it. Tell the landlord off about it, and actually you can talk straight to their real estate agent who listed the property, they'll take you more seriously.

contact a lawyer ansd sue these folkes they dont care about you so fight it they are probably going to throw you out and remodle and raise the rent anyway so go to a free intake and question a lawyer OK

mark

the real estate agent should know the law.

check your lease. I would contact a lawyer for an opinion .

Proud Nana

Check your lease for any info on that. Then ask an attorney.

Beau R

On the face of it, and not being an attorney, I'd say that you have the right to refuse. You can tell the owner that you need the 24 hour notice. Should he once again violate your rights, then I'd make sure that the next time it is shown, that it would be as messy as possible, and I might even go so far as to ask him if "he got the plumbing repaired?" or some other question, that might make prospective buyers wonder if the necessary upkeep had been done.

Call your local housing authority or an attorney.

that isn't fair

Yes! When you lease you are "purchasing" an interest in land which can have a series of warranties or guarantess the "owner" makes when "selling." One of the warranties associated with a lease is - quiet enjoyment of the premises. Therefore you can stop them! If they "force" you out - either by kicking you out or continuing to disturb you after you protest you can claim "constructive eviction" - leave, find a new place and sue them for the cost of moving and the difference between the amount you pay for your new lease and the old if it is greater for the entire term of the lease you had with them.

if your lease is not over they are not allowed to show your home. they have rented it to you wich give you all right till your lease run out so no you do not have to let them itern in your home or let them show it.
