my landlord is a dickface. he is showing my apartment to prospective buyers with only 30 minutes notice to me and my girl. he's done this three times already. can he do this while we still live here? i would be ok with it if it didn't happen every other day and he lies about how many people he's bringing and when. it is really pissing me off.

Consider telling him no sometime he calls? Say your busy and he is going to have to give you more time before the visit.

check your lease, then check your states laws. there's a chance this could be perfectly legal, and an even better chance you gave them permission when you signed the lease

You could possibly take him to court. If you win, you may end up living there rent-free.

I believe its federal law (could just be my sates law) that you you have to have a minimum of 24 hour notice before landlord can enter your residence for any reason except for emergency eviction. Other than that he needs your consent to enter. In other words just say no and then he can say well ill be here (at least 24 hours from the call) at bla bla bla time to show the apartment to prospecting buyers. And when he says that you cant say no

this could be true for him, but not all states have this, and even if they do, the lessee could have signed away this right with or without knowing when he/they originally signed the lease

usually it's if you say 'no' to your landlord, then he cant show it.
and you dont have to say yes.. it's not your responsibility to sell the apartment.. let him deal with it when you move out/when your lease is up.. if he's going to be a dick about it.
i would just tell him no.
especially if you're a shroomery member because you might not want anybody browsing around your house.. looking in closets and stuff.

i had put my jars away when he was showing the apartment a few days ago, and he brought more people over later after he said he wasn't bringing anyone else that day, so i had put the jars back out. i'll just say they are shitaki or something if he asks, he's from mainland china and he's not too bright about most things. (not that the chinese aren't smart) btw i had my glove box and vermiculite 'hidden' under separate sheets in the closet, and i could tell they were disturbed. this fucker.

i just read the lease, and he has to give us 24 hours notice before bringing people in here. i can't wait to tell him no the next time, because this was the lease that he gave us, and he is breaking his own rules. he also horribly misspelled my girls name on the lease.

he isnt breaking the rules if you give him prior permission now if he comes by and doesnt tell you he is in fault of the lease and well hands down you win your case document it for legal evidence against such wrong doing

If he keeps doing it you should just not bathe for a few days and lie on the couch ass naked farting repeatedly while they are there. Nothing illegal about that... I hope.

A lot of leases have clauses that place a landlord's responsibilities on the tenant.
A lot of states have laws making these illegal. You can't sign away your rights OR your responsibilities.

also this place is deemed uninhabitable because we have a sliding glass door (not a proper door), or proper lock. also uninhabitable because there isn't a working heater and we use an electric heater that jacks our electric bill up 100$ more a month... maybe we should sue.

Move out, making sure everything is as it was when you moved in.
Then sue for the deposit.
You don't really sue to get your apartment up to code. If its not up to code, you leave. If its not up to code, the landlord defaulted on the lease, not you.

I'm moving into a house next year with some friends from college, and luckily we know the people who had the house before us so visiting was chill and I've partied there before. Anyway one of my friends parents is a lawyer and she went over the lease and fixed a whole bunch of stuff that would screw you over if you weren't looking hard enough. Thank god for these rich fuckers and their parents lol.

Every landlord is just trying to look out for the bottom line. Some have bought property as a retirement plan. Some have bought for regular income.
It is the ones that drain money out of property, until it has no value left, that are slumlords.
When you move in make sure that you and the landlord come to a written agreement on the condition of the house. Write down the location of stains in carpets, damage to hardwood floors, dents in drywall, check every window to make sure the glass is not cracked and the hardware and locks work. Check the floor molding in the bathrooms for mold. Mold is a deal breaker. Mold will affect your health. I once had a landlord that renovated the bathroom prior to my tenency. They covered the plaster w/ drywall, removed the bathroom fan and carpeted the floor! They also installed a pedestal sink and didn't attach it to the wall. Not only that, but they had to install a new drain for the pedestal and the failed to cap the old drain. Because the old drain was uncapped and below the S bend, sewer gases were constantly leaking into the walls of this house.
For the first three days write everything down and submit it within the first 7 days of moving in. You can write this down or video tape it. My landlord was really good about all this but he was 10x more attentive when we left as opposed to when we moved in. We got nailed for $30 on a dent in the refrigerator door. We never noticed it, it might have been there.

yeah, thats good advice to anyone renting an apartment. he is showing the apartment again today, so i'm going to set up my digital camera in one corner of my room, and see if i can find him doing anything illegal, because i know he went through some of our stuff, and that really pisses me off. if i catch him today, i'm suing the shit out of him, we also have other documented things we could bring to the case.

Make sure you document the fact that he's breaking the terms of the lease, then you can go on Judge Judy and sue his ass.

my lady typed up a 5 page letter that we are going to give to him if he does anything else. it documents the things he's done illegally, and sites the laws regarding said events. now if i could only get some footage, that would be great.
