Is it ok for your landlord of 3 months to be doing a walk through so soon? Is this a violation of my rights?

Answer 1

Check your lease!!! or buy a home!!!

CAN MY LANDLORD ENTER MY APARTMENT WITHOUT MY PERMISSION?

You have a basic right of privacy which your landlord should
respect. Your landlord may enter your place only in the following
cases:

-- in an emergency.

-- to make necessary or agreed upon repairs, decorations,
alterations or improvements; supply necessary or agreed
upon services; or show the unit to prospective buyers, tenants
or repair workers.

-- when you have abandoned or given up the premises.

-- as a result of a court order. (Sec. 1954 of CC)

Unless it is an emergency or impractical, your landlord should
give you reasonable notice of his/her plans to enter, and enter only
during normal business hours. Twenty-four hours is usually
considered reasonable notice.

If your landlord seriously violates your right to privacy, you
may have the basis for a lawsuit. You also might want to contact the
police when the violation occurs; while the police often will not take
direct action, your report to them can help document your complaint
if you take the case to court.

Answer 2

If your in Australia, the landlord has the right to do an inspection 90 days (3 months) after you move in. Your rights are not being violated by this, it is in your rental contract and every rental contract with "every" legitimate realestate. The realestate agent must "in writing" give you atleast 24 hours notice prior to entering the property. If your not going to be home at this time, it is within your rights to either move the inspection to a day where you will be home (like I did) or have a trusted friend or family member there when the agent is walking through. Most agents are fine and very flexible when it comes to inspection times.....it really only takes the agent 5-10 minutes at the most.

Answer 3

There should be something in your lease but I dont think they are allowed anywhere near your house without your permission while you are still in good terms with your lease and payments. If they want to show it when you are at the end of your lease then they let you know in advance and it is at YOUR convenience but I dont know about walk throughs. I think that is a violation of your privacy and I would tell them you dont feel it is necessary and you wont allow it.

Answer 4

The landlord does not need your permission to enter your apartment, as long as they give you 24 hours notice before hand. I they give no notice, it is Breaking and Entering and the landlord is subject to charges.

Answer 5

As a former landlord, I can tell you that he has every right to do so. He must give you 24 hour notice or whatever your lease stipulates.

Answer 6

Not at all, it is his property, he has the legal right to inspect it with notice.

Think of it this way; someone borrowed your car for a month, would you feel like you had the right to make sure your car was being well cared for? Probably.

Answer 7

A "walk thru" is done before you move in and just before you move out. Why is your landlord wanting to walk thru your apartment? They have no business being in your place, with or without your presence, unless they are tending to repairs or maintenance.

Answer 8

Certainly, it is his/her property. They should let you know about it though. Just confront him nicely and ask when and usually he makes the walk throughs. Remember they are doing it to also protect you, if the place needs something it is his/her responsibility to do so. LOL

Answer 9

You would have to look at your lease if you have one. Look for anything that replys to walk ins. In my state they are not allowed to walk in unannounced, or whlie you are not at home. So, i would suggest looking at lease or asking an attorney.

Answer 10

Your lease probably gives him the right to do so. Tell him "no" and see what he says. If it's in the lease, then he is within his rights.
