housing association refuses the owner right of entry to inspect the property?
413826
I'm assuming that there is a lease involved here...\n\nTypically, in the leases that I've seen OWNERS and their agents have right to enter the property with reasonable notice (typically min 24 hours).\n\nRead the lease, typically this will be under the NOTICE paragraph or ENTRY paragraph or INSPECTION.\n\nIt is not uncommon for an owner to inspect an apartment/unit when a tenant gives notice and again at the lease termination.\n\nSounds to me like you are dealing with an a**.\n\nGood luck, hope this helps.

Your landlord can refuse a walk-through.  It's not a law or anything.  If an apartment is not in move-in condition when you go to move in, your remedy is not moving in until it is ready.  Once you take possession, that's it.  \n\nAs long as you have the photos that prove the damage was there when you rented it, you will be fine.  She can claim that it wasn't, but more importantly ... you can prove that it was.\n\nYou don't need to "do" anything at this point.

read your contract, since you are obviously renting the space where your home sits then there must be a contract you signed, and if it states that no additional people are permitted to live in the domicile then that is how it is, you can't just go against something you have signed. However, if it is not mentioned, then they have no right to do anything to you. It's time to do some reading.

don't take their word on it - they can go after your house - check with a laywer immediately...

If your HOA is being run by a outside party check the contract and start calling the office to let them know that you will not be renewing with them unless they start to reform immediately.  \n\nIf it is democratically run, your vote is your voice.  Go to each meeting and bring up the same points.\n\nIf they are breaching any part of their contract that is grounds for removal.  A petition is also a good idea, but you have to have all your ducks in a row and understand the legality of a petition because unfortunately the "what you meant" vs "what is says" goes against you if the language is not legally binding.  If you are not a lawyer the best rule of thumb is clear and short.

I am an experienced letting agent. Your agent should have requested permission before re-signing the tenant. However, this can be via a phone call so you may have diffiulty in proving the agent did not have your concent. Does it create a problem for you or are you just annoyed at the agent? if its the latter , then why bother taking it further? if it does cause you a problem and you have a wriiten apology from the agent that proves they should not have re-signed the tenant then you MAY be able to sue the agent for any loss you have suffered. However, it may be difficult to get the tenant out before the end of the new agreement. it will also depend on the terms and conditions that you signed when you instructed the agent. If you happen to be in Southampton, email me and i will help further.

Well never having been to America, your system, whilst different to ours in England does have the same thread running through it so to speak.  Here in Britain it is the councils who create the ghetto's They tend to take a place that has or is starting to get a bit of a bad name and they start putting petty criminals, nuisance neighbours, rowdy types into that area.  The decent people living there do their very best then to get out but nobody wants to exchange houses with them, the council will not allow a transfer unless there is a serious reason such as a medical one, and if they have been unfortunate enough to have bought their council house, nobody wants to buy it from them. They are then well & truly stuck whilst the council continue to put the dross onto the estate. I believe it is for the purpose of facilitating the council's own interests and that of the police. I know this sounds awful but that is what I believe. I am so sorry for you if you are stuck in a situation like that & I hope that you find some peace somewhere

It is still legal.It sound as though it's got a Deed Of Covenent on it,which does stoop you from building.This next bit will take some unravelling.You'll need a solicitors hellp,as you will need to find the original owner,and see if they will agree to remove the covenent.It may cost quite a bit of money.

Hi David,\n\nI just love landlords like this, they think they can do what they want, well guess what? They can't!\n\nYou have rights. If the correct procedures have not been followed she has no right to evict you. There is a piece of legislation called the Protection From Eviction Act 1977.\n\nIf she has acted in a manner that interferes with your quiet enjoyment of the property then she can be prosectued under s.1 of the 1977 Act. Amended by s.29 of the Housing Act 1988.\n\nBy simply letting herself in she could well be committing an offence under the Criminal Law Act 1977. s.6 or the Protection From Eviction Act 1977. ss.1-3.\n\nThe leaving open of windows could well be contrary to the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977. This is because this clause raises a number of potential Health issues as well as security issues and may not be enforceable under this Act.\nShe should have gone to court seeking possession of the property.  It will probably take her months to do it.\n\nTalk to a solicitor who specialises in Landlord and Tenant Law.

Usually if you are putting up your home for collateral they will make an appointment to do so. but if you have not put up your home or made appointment i don't believe they do have a right to come to your home

I am a landlord, and I have had a landlord in the past who has unlawfully entered. As a landlord, I allow tenants to have these locks. I have no issue, because I don't need to be in there. On the days I am to enter for maintenance, she leaves that lock undone.  \n\nAt some hardware stores you can buy a chain lock that has a key entry. It looks like a chain lock for the outside viewer appearing that you are home, the top of the chain has a small cylinder lock. The landlord would not see the top if you place it high enough.  This forces the landlord to explain why he forced your privacy lock to the police in the event of unlawful entry, yet is flimsy enough to break in a true emergency. Typically found at specialty hardware stores.  \n\nA flip lock is another type that makes it appear that you are home. It looks like a hinge with screw holes in only one side. It can be entered from the outside if you take one credit card and push the plate side of the lock up, and a second one to swing it out upon your own reentry. Most have a small hole in the bottom part of the locking plate. Thread a small ribbon or string through that to pull it closed behind you. They are stiff enough to keep someone out who shouldn't be there unless they make a lot of noise pulling out the screws or busting in the lock. Yet again, are flimsy enough to fall in at a good hit in an emergency situation. I found one at wal-mart.

One of the elements of common law tenancy is the right to "enjoyment of the premises," which would include having visitors. Your landlord is attempting to interfere with your "quiet enjoyment," and would be liable to you for that, as well as forfeiting some rent for the period he so interfered.\n\nThis assumes, of course, that your visitors behave properly and that you behave properly when you have visitors.

First of all you can sue him for trespassing your room even though u did not suffer any loss. Secondly, he has right to enter the house to repair something but not to improve. If the act constitutes improvment then he is not allowed to enter without your permission. Further, you can read landlord & tenant book for more information. By the way, I just finished my exam on 'land lord and tenant law'.

Who is preventing you from seeing your property? If it's the landlord, I believe you need to speak to him.

HELL NO!\n EVEN WHEN YOUR RENTING THEY HAVE TO GIVE AT LEAST 24 HRS NOTICE TO ENTER THE PREMISES UNLESS ITS AN EMERGENCY LIKE SOMETHING CAUSING WATER DAMAGE OR A POTETIAL IMMEDIATE FIRE HAZARD POT ON STOVE FOOD IN OVEN, OR A POLICE WARRANT.

Check the wording of your rental agreement carefully. A reputable landlord (are there any?) would not charge or hold back on your deposit for things considered "fair wear and tear".  It sounds like your landlord is trying it on, assuming your description of the problem is fair and accurate.\n\nIf you are a student talk to the housing officer at your university/college. If you are a private renter contact the letting agency you got the property from.\n\nIf you didn't go through a letting agent then contact your local citizens advice bureau.
