Tenants Rights
    #17178120 - 11/07/12 09:58 AM (11 years, 6 months ago)

So, i'm chilling with my room mate smoking our vape in the living room, when all of a sudden

-> a wild Landlord has appeared! duh Na uh Na Na duh Na Na duh Na Na Du nah….. duh Na Na… what will you do?


-> All jokes aside, i feel my rights as a tenant have been breached by my landlord freely walking into the house in which i have a room in.

-> He walked in, said what's up, washed his hands in the sink and left. He asked if everything was okay and said he was just stopping in at another house. He didn't see the tree all over the table or the vape but maybe lol. Not that i really care about that...


--> Is there anything i can say/do that would not cause suspicion/drama with my landlord and at the same time require he give notice?
-> Is he already required to give notice and just DGAF?
edit***
-> Also, thank you for pointing this out, i forgot to mention i live on Ontario, Canada. Pretty important point :grin:

Thanks guys!

Thank you for your comprehensively detailed question.  Based on your information I presume you are in a tribal area of Niger.  Please consult with the village chieftain or council elder and ask what his ruling is.  This will be your answer.

In Ontario it looks like he violated the law.  Unless it was an emergency or to perform cleaning or some other purpose he was required to perform per the terms of the lease, he can't enter without at least 24 hour notice.  I don't see any exceptions to this other than showing the apartment to others in which case he needs to make reasonable attempts to notify you.

See: http://www.ontariotenants.ca/law/act03.phtml#RTA26

As for not pissing him off, there's not much you can do- you're going to have to talk to him.  First I'd just ask him if he would mind giving you notice before barging into the apartment and to knock rather than just barging in.  If he won't do that, then you can bring up the legal requirements.

This assumes nothing in the lease allows him to do as he pleases.  Under the law cited above, it seems like he still must give notice even if the lease allows his entry, but I'm not sure how things work in Ontario.

Thanks! I just did a bit of research myself and found this http://www.ltb.gov.on.ca/en/Key_Information/STEL02_111677.html which pretty much says the same thing.

I guess i have my answer, i'll do just that and try do to so in the nicest way possible lol. I guess it's better than having to consult with the council.

I'd change the key - buy the same lock and switch it.  If he complains that his key doesn't work anymore, give him a new key, and as you do make him promise to give 24 hours notice before entering, as required by law.

Yup - johnm214 is right. The law in Ontario (here) does not allow landlords to enter without giving 24 hours notice except in the case of an emergency. This instance clearly was not an emergency.

(Even if it says he can in the lease, he still cannot - we have really good tenant protection laws in Ontario).

WRONG.  I know of no state that gives a landlord such a right.  In most states, any clause in the contract that gives the landlord the right to enter without notice is void.

Hey guys! Thanks for all the great responses!  The issue kind of faded i guess and i forgot about the thread lol! But thanks for all the great responses, it seems my landlord was in the wrong. Next rent check i send to him will be accompanied by a calmly written letter explaining my legal requests.

Defensive, much?

Enlil, above, is a lawyer. I'm not, although I have my own reasons for having extensive knowledge of this. This is one of those things that varies a bit from state to state, however, most states have laws which explicitly only allow a landlord into the property under certain, particular circumstances. Usually with advance warning and permission of the owner, case of emergency, inspection prior to moving out, and real-estate walkthroughs.

Maybe you have reason to think it's otherwise, but you haven't given any of your reasoning. You'd be more likely to convince people or engage them in meaningful discussion if you provided elaboration, instead of "eat a dick," which, IMO, makes you sound not only rude but pretty immature.

While luvdemshrooms' comment may have come off as a bit blunt, he was telling the truth -- you gave shitty advice.

NY, in fact, requires a landlord to give "reasonable notice" before entering a unit except in cases of emergency.

It has never happened, ever, that people go to court, get a decision, and then, failing to understand the reasons for the decision, make some false statement of law to people here.  That never happens.

Unless you can cite some authority for your claim, you witnessing something is worthless.  In point of fact, even if the judge ruled as you describe, it wouldn't neccessarily reflect the state of the law.  The law says the way things are supposed to be, not how they are- some judge failing to enforce the law is not evidence of shit.  (but I'm guessing, from past experience, this was some sort of suppression of evidence hearing that the defendant lost because the landlord wasn't a state agent rather than because he had the right to enter- had the person who entered been a burglar it would have been the same result).
