Default tenant/landlord laws?

i just moved into an apt 4 days ago and my landlord has been over every day for stupid *** **** w/o notice. "heres a 98 cent ligtbulb. i saw a fridge in the paper for 100$, have you transfered your job yet?" he has our numbers but doesnt call. today he came buy and rang the doorbell, i wasnt in the mood so i didnt answer, he rang it a couple more times and the tried to open my door, not shake the door *** but tried pushing it open.


is this legal???

WTF!!!! They can't do that. You need to ask them to respect your privacy.

at my old apartment when they had to do maint. they would always ask if they had permission to enter. that leads me to believe that its not legal for them to just come in.

I work for an appartment building and no they cannot enter your residence unless it is an emergency (fire, flood, etc...) What you should do is talk to the manager and let him know that you know your rights. Depending on what city you live in there might/might not be rent controll. In that case be extra carefull what you say to the manager because they can evict you without reason if you live in a city that has no rent controll. If he continues to do so after talking to him i would sugest just calling the police next time and report an attempted break in. Good luck and if you have any more questions just ask.

the guy definitely cannot enter your unit anytime he wants. call a lawyer, pay for a consultation and handle the situation. i don't know why you would post this question on a car forum.

It may be none of our business......but where is your boyfriend/husband??
I doubt any guy would like for the landlord to make frequent stops like that.

my dad has been a landlord for many years and yes they must ask for your permission to come its against the law to just come in whenever he fels like it and no he cnat evict you for no reason eviting you would be for non payment or detroying the property and even then it could take upto six months

California law requires 24 hours notice to enter your residence. It should also have the reason for the entry needed. I agree to just talk to the manager and keep it respectful as renters don't have a lot of rights.

my husband was at work when it happened, i already told the landlord i wasnt comfortable with him being inside w/o my husband home.



i prolly shouldnt have posted on a "car" forum, i was just curious if anyone in the socal area would have any info, being saturday and all, and i dont have a phone book for the area, i thought id just ask.

He has to give you a written notice 24 hours before he enters and that is only for maintanence, unless it is an emergency situation like a burst pipe or something.

He technically didn't enter, maybe he got worried when you didn't answer and just checked if the door was unlocked.

But then again, his left hand could have been down his pants hoping you were in the shower.
