A 24 hour written notice is required, unless there is an emergency situation, such as a fire or if in an apartment, a neighbor below you saying that their ceiling is leaking.\n\nAs far as selling, he can do that prior to your lease ending. Most standard leases have a clause about that. Either he can require you to vacate, under the clause, or make provision for the new owner to increase rent or have you vacate. The new owner can choose to increase your rent if they wish, but they have to give you 30 day notice.

A landlord should let you know if you have been denied and why.  However, there is no harm in calling the landlord to ask why you were not given the place you wanted to rent.

In most states he must give a 24  hour notice when showing the unit for sale.  He has the right to show the unit and you have to let him with proper notice. Telephone notice is acceptable in most cases.  If there is not a 24 hour notice you can deny access.  That's how it goes when you rent.\n\nI just went through this and as soon as the sale closed I was handed an eviction notice.  My lease did not have a transfer clause in it (the lease was voided at sale.)  Read your lease and ask that this be included in it as an addendum prior to the sale.\n\nWhen you rent the rules are out there and they don't favor you.

The 10 day notice of eviction is standard, but no, he cannot make you leave.  He has to post a 30 day notice and go to court.  When you get to court, sometimes the judge will give you a longer amount of time, but often will not.  Your landlord cannot allow others to harass you in any way.  Please see a housing attorney, you can probably speak to someone for free at least for the first time, then they have court appointed attorneys you may be able to work with.  I used to manage apartments, that's how I know these things.  Good Luck!

Well, in Belgium it is, yes.\nThe landlord has to get an oral or written aggreement to enter the house/apartment you live in.

Depends on the state.  You obivously have internet.  Look up your state's landlord tenant laws.

The law states that she must first serve you with a notice to quit and then go to court for legal eviction.  She can not tell you that you must move because of relatives coming.  If you have a signed lease then you have the law on your side.  She has to have a good reason to evict you.  If you are late on your rent or destroyed the property then she can keep your security deposit but just because she wants to let others live there she can not do that.  Contact your local housing authority for a copy of tenents rights.  She can not remove  your things or have utilities shut off to force you to move either.  Good Luck.

Since you call it an apartment he has become a tenant and you will have to follow legal eviction procedures to get him out.  Any of the self-help solutions others have suggested will just get you and your homeowners policy sued.  (Think what the rates will be if they have you listed as single family home and in fact you have an apartment and a tenant!)  Also I don't know your building codes but I will bet your apartment is illegal and not built with permits, because you said you have one hvac unit for both residences.  You opened a can of worms when you rented this out.  (For whatever the rent was supposed to be) and he will have access to legal aid in Los Angeles for sure.  Good luck be more careful in future to follow the law.

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.

She can't enter without reasonable notice.  Unless your lease has a clause in it requiring that you keep the place clean when she's showing the house there's nothing she can do to require it.  \n\nShe also must give reasonable notice when she goes to show the house, she can't just "show" up.  If she does call the police if she refuses to leave.  Since you are leasing it's "your" house until the lease is ended.  If she's harassing you that needs to be reported to the police, they'll give her a chance to cease the harassment and then if she does anything again they can arrest and charge her.  Any act including demanding you clean a room or be billed (if not allowed in lease) could be considered harassment.\n\nAlso if she trys to say I'm your roommates mother and she's given me permission you can say NO.  Both parties must agree to allow someone on the property or they can't enter.  One person can't "trump" the other's right to not allow someone to enter the property.

There are local organizations to help you fight eviction.  The locked door is a different issue.  In a lot of places the law requires them to give you 24 hour notice to enter unless it's an emergency.  If you can't afford a lawyer, try your local Legal Aid.\n\nLandlords violate laws frequently.  It's one of the most common legal conflicts.  Legal Aid or some other such organization might refer you to an organization that helps tenants in legal conflicts with landlords.  Legal Aid itself often doesn't have time for such cases, but they can usually refer you to the right organization.\n\nOn the other hand, the landlord's point of view seems reasonable, so you might have a hard fight if you decide to sue them. They don't want pets because pets cause damage.  They don't want to make exceptions because they don't want to have to decide which exceptions to grant.  So they have a strictly enforced rule.  Is the rule clear in the lease or rental agreement?  If it is, your case might be weak.   But if they violated a 24-hour-notice-to-enter rule or law, you might have a better case there.  Especially if you can get them to admit in writing or in court that they entered without 24 hours notice, or if you have enough witnesses.\n\nMy own personal solution to the 24-hour problem when I rented in the past was to have a very loud burglar alarm that would go off when they entered.  They soon learned not to enter without notice.\n\nWhatever else you do, make sure the next apartment allows pets.

I would talk to a lawyer to discuss your options. There might be a chance the landlord is found guilty of negligence.

Yes, this is criminal besides being rude.\nComplain to both the authorities and your landlord.

Yes, people without written rental agreements can be evicted.  If there was a verbal agreement to pay rent then the person is a tenant and can be evicted.  If there was no agreement to pay rent then the owner of the property can call the police and have the person removed as a trespasser.

Sometimes they can.  It depends on your lease and the law in your area.\n\nIn NYC you can have 1 additional unrelated person who is not on the lease move in with you without your landlords permission.  \n\nIs there a reason why you feel your landlord would withhold their consent?

ONLY IF HE CAN GO THRU YOUR ROOM WITHOUT YOU BEING THERE

The law that governs eviction is Fla. Stat. § 83.59 (2005)\nwhich basically says that A landlord can only evict through court proceedings, he cannot just give you a notice he has to sue(although the suit will be on the fast track) you. Basically if you refuse to move out Landlord cannot use self help to throw you out -- that will be assault, and he will need a court order to have a sheriff come and kick you out legally.\n\nHere is the statute in full: \nRight of action for possession\n\n\n   (1) If the rental agreement is terminated and the tenant does not vacate the premises, the landlord may recover possession of the dwelling unit as provided in this section.\n\n(2) A landlord, the landlord's attorney, or the landlord's agent, applying for the removal of a tenant shall file in the county court of the county where the premises are situated a complaint describing the dwelling unit and stating the facts that authorize its recovery. A landlord's agent is not permitted to take any action other than the initial filing of the complaint, unless the landlord's agent is an attorney. The landlord is entitled to the summary procedure provided in s. 51.011 [F.S. 1971], and the court shall advance the cause on the calendar.\n\n(3) The landlord shall not recover possession of a dwelling unit except:\n\n   (a) In an action for possession under subsection (2) or other civil action in which the issue of right of possession is determined;\n\n   (b) When the tenant has surrendered possession of the dwelling unit to the landlord; or\n\n   (c) When the tenant has abandoned the dwelling unit. In the absence of actual knowledge of abandonment, it shall be presumed that the tenant has abandoned the dwelling unit if he or she is absent from the premises for a period of time equal to one-half the time for periodic rental payments. However, this presumption shall not apply if the rent is current or the tenant has notified the landlord, in writing, of an intended absence.\n\n(4) The prevailing party is entitled to have judgment for costs and execution therefor.
