What to do when tenant makes it difficult for the landlord to access the property?
548593
Start creating some paper.  Send her a letter informing her that you need access to show the premises.  When she refuses, send her another letter stating that you have requested access to show the premises, as provided in the lease, and that she has refused.  Keep doing this.  After the lease has ended and she has moved out, if you aren't able to re-rent right away then withhold a month's rent from her deposit.  If/when she tries to sue you for it you can show the judge the copies of the letters proving that she was in violation of the lease and prevented you from re-renting the property.

You really aren't being specific enough.\n\nThe landlord doesn't have a right to enter the unit any time they want, except in case of emergency.\n\nAs far as entry onto the property itself, if it is a multi-dwelling property they can come and go as they please within the common areas.\n\nIf you rented a private house,  the issue would be addressed by a combination of state law and clauses contained in your lease.   They have a right to inspect and maintain the property, but when they rented it to you they gave up the right to hang out on the property just because they feel like it.  You also need to look at your lease.  Did they retain the right to use the yard?\n\nWhat are they doing when they come over?  Are they doing work?  If so, that's allowed and they probably don't have to clear it with you first.  I rent a house, and my landlords are on the property frequently.  They trim branches, mow grass, clip the bushes, rake leaves, clean the gutters, etc ... and I can't stop them.  Nor do I want to. \n\nIs anything other than their mere presence annoying you? Are they standing on the lawn drinking beer?  Are they peering into your windows or otherwise invading your privacy?  Are they expecting you to let them them in just because they showed up?  If so, those things aren't allowed because it is interfering with your right to quiet enjoyment of the premises and you really need to have a talk with them about it.\n\nSometimes small or individual landlords have trouble grasping the fact that they gave up the right to do whatever they want whenever they want when they leased or rented their property.  They feel that they "own" it and can do as they please, and forget that they transferred many of the rights that come with ownership to the tenant when they rented the property.

Look up the Tenant Association where you live, call them and ask how to file a complaint about him.

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.

Offer to pay them their security deposit and not report an eviction on their credit. They will be able to get other housing, and you will get rid of them. Let them know how hard it will be to find housing with an eviction on their record.\n\nI know that paying them the security deposit will be hard, but it will be cheaper than getting a lawyer to evict them, and waiting for the entire court process to run its course. You will have paying tenants faster.

technically, landlords have the right to come in to your home/room whenever they please.  I am not sure what you can do.

Sounds like my landlady - maybe they are related? I don't think it is illegal to have visitors over unless you are subletting or making money out of their visit (conducting business with them on the premises) - that may be a breach of contract.\n\nWell you know, you should speak to your local council people (private housing sector) and they will tell you of your rights.\n\nAlternately, if you have leased through an estate agent, contact your agent and see what he has to say.\n\nHere are some web sites that may help you as well -\n\nhttp://www.thesite.org/homelawandmoney/home/tenancyrights/yourrightsasatenant\n \nhttp://www.argyll-bute.gov.uk/tenantshandbook/tenantsrights.htm\n\nhttp://www.arla.co.uk/info/tenants.htm\n\nhttp://www.landlordlaw.co.uk/page.ihtml?id=239&catparid=6&step=2&page=shop

Small Claims! Tell your landlord you need to move, may let you out of the lease. If not, leave anyway. There are still tenants there. (no damages). Evidence obviously needed. Take MANY pictures of the condition when you leave.

Try to figure out a payment plan. Right now, the landlord has the power in the situation; he's the one who'd be able to use the terms of the lease to try to get you out of the property.\n\nBest to work with him to get out of arrears. If you do figure out a plan, and go through with your part of it, his part of it should be to leave you alone.

You are in a world fo headeaches, i'm going thru the same thing, I guess it depends on the state that you live on, in nj, you have to give your tenants two noticies, then have to file to go to court, that's if the tenant still there, then at court, judge tells you if they have to move or not, or you can work something out with your tenants, but if tenants, fail at whatever the agrement was the you have to go back to court file some paper, belive me its a pain in the ass, it's been 4 months and my tenants still there

I don't think there is a limit as to how many times you can go into your rental property, however, if your tenant feels as though you are constantly bothering them for little small items they will probably report you to the local authorities.\n\nIn my lease I am authorized to visit at least once a month for safety reasons as well as to see if there are things that need reparing.\n\nTo eliminate problems of tenant neglect you must do as good a job up front as possible to eliminate any future tenant problems. \n\nWhen I have eliminated the applications down to 3-4 possible tenants I find a reason to visit the place the are presently residing unannounced to get them to sign something or take and drop off a document. Once there I make an excuse to get into the place where they are living normally may I use your bath, while walking throuh the property I make mental notes about how they are taking care of this property.  Based on what I see will determine if they are gonna rent from me.  This will eliminate a few possible tenants though not fool proof, I have eliminate about 60% of my former headaches before I started doing this.\n\nNow once you see that the tenants keep up the property pretty well you can make a visit about each quarter. Don't run your tenants away by beingover bearing, remember this is their home and they want their privacy.  You can always expect a little damage that is the cost of doing business.  Once they move, and you make the necessary repairs all is tax deductable, check with your tax preparer for information on depreciation, mortgage interest, county tax and other possible deductions from having a rental. I make sure I enclude the cost of lawn up keep in the rent, I don't rely on my tenants to mow the grass or landscap the property.\n\nI hope this has been of some use to you, good luck\n\n"FIGHT ON"
