He has a right to a key in case of emergency (fire, etc.) but coming in and making tea is against the lease, I would hope. Check your lease.....it should have a clause about "PEACEFUL POSSESSION of property" as MOST leases do. This means he can NOT come in and make himself at home, and he can be sued for that! Invasion of privacy for godsake! Contact your local rental association........they do exist! Report this loser! If he wants to come in and make tea.........tell him to REDUCE your rent cos he's more or less your room mate.....MAKE HIM PAY RENT! geesh! Can't believe you're putting up with this crap!

You signed a hire contract alongside with your landlord. till there's a right clause interior the preliminary lease providing you with get right of entry to to a parking lot, then that's not a transformation interior the hire. you have gotten criminal status on the subject of the length of the parking lot, as you were offered a delegated length area, and then that domicile was once decreased. this is advisable to communicate with the interior reach landlord tenant advocacy team as good via fact the licensed help Society. you may google for the two observed by making use of way of city and state in which you reside. maximum ordinarily the be responsive to-how from those 2 agencies are at no value to you. i'm hoping this has been of a few progression to you, striking good fortune.

Yes, he should have his own key, but no, he shouldn't be using it like that. He needs to have his own key so that he can enter to make repairs...with your permission and knowledge, of course. He needs a key in case of emergencies as well. He also needs a key in case you move out, taking the key with you. He shouldn't have to call a locksmith to enter his own property or change the locks every time someone moves out. Having said all that, I have to repeat that he may not enter your home without your permission or an overriding legitimate reason for being there.

Certain states require it. I'm in NJ and the landlord has keys to all apartments if their renting out their home or buildings. It required. What you could do is put a chain lock on your door where you can lock it when you're home and if you leave. Or you can just simply add another lock. If he gives you problems about it, just tell him that you feel uncomfortable about him being able to come into your apartment when you there and when you're not. Especially if you live alone.

Yes,,, he should definitely have a key to your apartment/house and all other properties he "owns". This is solely for "emergency" purposes. If you were not a home and there was water leak, he would have to get into the area. This is normal for landlords. Not to worry.

Yes, a landlord is allowed to have their own key. However, most tenant laws require that a landlord provide at least 24 hour notification, and sometimes longer depending on where you live, that they intend to enter the premises. They are NOT allowed to just come and go as they please. Get a lawyer if you can afford one.

He should have a key because it is his property and in case of an emergency, if you are not available, he may need to get in. He should not, however be letting himself in while you are living there! without a VERY good cause.

Yes, he should have his own key. If something happens while you're gone, he may need to get in.
It's entirely not okay that he just lets himself in. He needs to give 24 hours notice, unless there is some type of emergency.

He absolutely should have his own key, in case of emergency/crime after all it's his property. He should NOT be using it to use your property to make tea, assuming you own the pot and are paying for the water, tea, etc.

Of course in Florida there is a castle doctrine law.
