teenaa_marie | I want to know what I can do about a landlord entering my home when I am home and when I am not home.? |
Is there a law that protects me from this? Is there something I can do to stop it. I was sleeping one afternoon and got up cause I heard something and when I came around the corner of my living room. i looked up and saw my landlord standing there. Of course I screamed and he said what. I said what are you doing in my house? He said no one answered the door. Is this wrong or what? I was truly feeling violated. Am I wrong or him? |

It depends on what your leases says. If there isn't anything on the lease then it defers to whatever the local ordinance is. Genearlly, ownership of Real Estate means owning a bundle of rights - right to occupy, right to sell, right to make improvements, right to destroy etc. . When a the owner leases their property they're signing away their right to occupy to the the tenant for the specified duration of the lease. So, they are in a sense they have rented the right to occupy the premises to the tenant.
On most standard leases there would be a clause that allows the landlord to enter the premises for the purpose of making repairs, or to lease the unit 30 days prior to the expiration fo the lease. ..."with consent" or "proper notification". There may be a clause in there to allow the landlord to enter the permises without notice in case of emergency.
In short the landlord doesn't have the right to enter the premises unless it was an emergency or if he had your permission in advance to enter at that time. Otherwise, he probably violated the law but I doubt if the police would do anything other than to reprimand him.
Best thing to do at this point is to put in writing that you will not accept his entry into the unit without proper notification. If you can cite the lease I would do so and tell him it's in violation of the lease. |

Check your lease carefully. In the state of Texas you have the right to quite enjoyment of your property within the guidelines of the law. If your' land lord does not have a legitimate reason to come in according to the boundaries of your lease agreement you should have a legitimate case. |

as stated above unless their is an emergency the landlord must give reasonable notice to enter your place
assuming in are in the USA, every state has laws regulating what a landlord can and can not do, those laws can not be over ridden by your lease
The lease is a temporary transfer of certain property rights from the landlord to you, next time the landlord enters your unit without reasonable notice call the police and file a trespassing complaint against the landlord |

Unless there was an emergency, he has no right to enter at will.
File a complaint in municipal court. |

omg thats awful. he's lucky he didnt get attacked with something sneeking into a house like that!
my home is rented and i know the landlord or agent cant do that here without my permission. also they need to arrange with yourself when wanting to do a visit.
its very wrong! you are not in the wrong atall! |

not knowing the state you live in I cant give a specific law, but in California a landlord has to give 24 hours written notice to enter a home EXCEPT in an emergency situation -I.e. fire, flooding from broken pipes, and so on. Landlords cant just walk in because they feel like it. |

I believe you are right, just because he owns the house does not mean he has the right to walk in whenever he wants. He does have the right to come in and make an inspection, or make repairs but only with prior notification. A possible exception would be if there was an emergency of some sort that might cause property damage when you were not home. Get online and search your state law concerning renters rights. You might need to find somewhere else to live. |

English Law:
your landlord cannot enter your premesis without 24 hours notice unless there is a real emergency and then any 'proper' landlord would probably enter with police or firepersons company. This is trespassing he may own the property but you pay rent so it makes it your home (with some exceptions). he is violating your personal rights aswell as tresspassing. THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER. for all you know he could be going through your underwear drawer. for more guidence contact citizens advise burough. dont let this continue. |

Of course it's wrong! Contact your local police dept. for what the rules are for your area. I believe the only time a landlord or anyone else for that matter can enter your personal domain is if there is a justifiable emergency reason for doing so. Your landlord is lucky you are not the type to shoot first and ask questions later. |

Carefully read your lease agreement. Also, put deadbolts on your doors. |

I will preface my answer by telling you that I am a licensed Realtor® in the state of Arizona.
Real estate laws vary from state to state
First thing you may want to do is bar the door some way until you find the answer.
The next thing that I would do is find out what the laws are in your state concerning entry into your dwelling.
Then find out what your remedies are.
Feel free to drop me a line at the email address below if you have any questions. |

From the sounds of it, your landlord is a sexual deviate and is taking advantage of his rights as a property owner. You have reasonable rights to privacy which in most cases preclude a landlord from entering your residence without prior notification except for emergencies. In your shoes, I would have a manual dead bolt installed so that you can lock the door against any further intrusion on his part when you're home. I'd also talk with an attorney about the situation. Money spent with an attorney will be money invested in your safety and peace of mind. |

Landlord is dead wrong. I assume you are in the U.S. Each state has Landlord/tenant laws in their Statutes. This can be checked online. I would also call the cops. No landlord has the right to enter unless there is an emergency or he has given you at least 24 hours notice that repairs (or such) have to be made, etc. Lease or no lease, he is violating at the very least your right to "quiet enjoyment." Sounds like a creep. |
