The Weed Fairy | Landlord entered without permission or notification? |
this is the second time he has done so to shwo propsective buyers the building. he told us at the time of the lease that he would not enter the apartment without informaing us first. Well, now he has done so AT LEAST 2 times, because we happened to be home those times. I checked out my lease and it says he may enter my house anytime.
what do i do? i do NOT accept this at all! how can i get out of my lease for this? it makes me very uncomfortable that i found out he has brought people into my home without my knowledge
Additional Details
looked at that nolo.com website from someone and it had a chart on it that showed landlord requirements to enter by state and in PA there is no statute that says he must inform me
thanks everyone
but im screwed anyway

If you signed the lease, then that's it...it's done. You can go ahead and ask him for some kind of notice, be it 24 hours, or maybe even 8 and say that you would like the extra time to clean the place up for potential renters. I can't see how he would disagree with that.
Also, don't wait until he calls you to say that. Chances are, if he's calling or stopping in, someone's already made the appointment. If you call him ahead of time at least, maybe he'll give you that 8-24 hours.
In the meantime, just find a better hiding spot for the bong and keep the incense burning. |

Most states require notice before entry, not all. Mine doesn't. I give all tenants 24hr notice if I am going to be showing their apartments, but I rarely give notice if I am working on something.
Since you signed the lease that says he can enter any time he wants, there is no way for you to get out of your lease for him entering. You should have read it before you signed it.
What you should do, is discuss the situation with him, and ask that he give you notice before he enters. If he refuses, unfortunately you might not have any repercussions, but he may just be willing to work with you. |

Since your lease says he can do this, he is in his rights to do so...Breaking the lease is another thing....You can just move out, loose your deposit and pray he doesn't take you to court...Other than that there are no options. You can also talk to him frankly about the situation, tell him you want out of the lease if he is not going to notify you when he is going to bring in potential buyers...See what he says......Good luck |

The lease ultimately allows this, unless 24 hour notice is specified in your contract lease, then they can enter without notice. |

I agree with Halloween and Lost in the Dark.
Check with legal aid. |

If it's in the lease, I don't think there's anything you can do. Always read before signing. |

I don't actually think it's legal for him to put that in the lease, but it depends on your state. The way to break your lease is also detailed in the lease. It will likely cost you. You should have read the lease before you signed it.
Check your state and local laws, though. It might be illegal to not give notice, even if your lease says that. If it is not illegal, this is NOT just cause to break your lease without paying the penalties.
Most likely, when he sells the place, the new owners will want to sign a new lease. At that point, you can get out of there or make sure the new one doesn't include that stipulation. Take this as a learning opportunity, though - ALWAYS READ EVERY WORD OF ANYTHING YOU SIGN. It is legally binding. |

To those that think its 24 or 48 hour notice, unfortunately your wrong. It's 8 hour notification.
If it says he can enter at anytime, there's not a whole lot you can do. However, you may want to consult with an attorney or a local tenant legal assistance to make sure that that statement is legal in the state you live in. Just be aware that if it is against state law, ie the state has a minimum notification, that it does not void the entire lease just that one specific thing. |

Unfortunately, if it is in the lease, and you signed it, the only thing that you can do is wait until your lease is up, and move. Unless, he breaches the contract in some way before that time, then you pursue that angle.
Next time, though, read your lease carefully! A lease is a legal binding document that can be easily proven in court, whereas a verbal agreement is much trickier!
GOOD LUCK! |

you should always read binding documents before you sign them. you said your lease states that he can enter you apartment at any time. you can break your lease whenever you want but you will be responsible for all of the fees. |

if you're paying rent then it's called trespassing. landlords do not have the right to just come it whenever it's convenient for him. there are laws to back you up.
could be getting his jollys, if you know what i mean. |

I don't know if you are in the U.S. or not but I do believe that is a violation of renter's rights, no matter what the lease agreement says.
You can do some research on this website:

you must have 24 - 48 hour notice before he can enter your dwelling, unless its an emergency (water leaking, fire etc...)
Contact an attorney - but I believe this is just cause to be able to break your lease. |

You should check your sate laws because there are sates that require that a 24 hour notice be served before entering unless it's an emergency. |
