Who can I report my landlord to if she keeps popping in my apartment while I am not there?

Answer 1

You need to post the the law she is violating on your front door. Each state is different, but under no circumstances can a landlord just pop-in.

google your state and landlord/tenant laws and you will find the exact statute. I would also send her a certified letter demanding that she cease her superflous visits as she is in violation.......

also, you need to document dates/times of her unlawful entry. If she continues....just go down to small claims and request an expedited hearing so that you can have a judge tell her to stop.

Answer 2

If you want privacy as part of your contract then you would be advised to see a lawyer pronto. If you delay or have delayed too long then there may be nothing you can do, as the pattern has been established.

Failing that maybe you could ask a friend to keep watch for you while your away. If she has a right to enter she Will have you and your friend out soon enough. In England she is obliged to go through the courts to evict you unless you are a 'guest or lodger' and it just might be that the courts will decide that is what you are if it has been her practice to enter your apartment.

If you have a right to privacy, then defend it. If you do not, and it sounds like you want it, then move out and get a Landlord/lady who will honour your right.

Answer 3

What does your state law say regarding the landlords right to enter? What does your lease say about entry?

If your state or lease specifies that notice is required unless it is a true emergency, then the place you report her to is the police department and the municipal court when you swear out a complaint for trespassing and unauthorized entry. The Judge will make things really clear to her.

Answer 4

I would advise you to read through your contract thouroghly. But if there isnt anything in there stating that she would make an appointment with you to enter your home there is nothing you can really do about it. It is her property and she is ablidged to enter whenever she sees fit.
