So, my landlord has been coming to my condo a lot lately to oversee repairs, but it’s getting out of hand. He shows up super early and even works from my living room while taking meetings over Zoom, using my internet. It’s really intrusive and I’m getting tired of it. He’s also been harassing me in person and over email. Is there any way I can end my lease because of this? It feels like he’s crossing boundaries…
Ugh, that sounds so frustrating! Technically, your landlord can come in for repairs if he gives proper notice, but it seems like he’s taking it too far by using your space for his work. I’d look into writing him a formal complaint and see if that helps.
What exactly does ‘proper notice’ mean in this case? I’m not sure what my rights are with my landlord either.
I had a similar issue with a washing machine repair too. My landlord kept sending repair guys who never fixed anything. If it’s been over two months, that’s really unreasonable. You might be able to get the repair done yourself and deduct it from your rent if he doesn’t fix it soon.
This sounds like a nightmare! If the landlord isn’t fixing things properly, maybe you can push him to replace the machine instead of wasting more time and money on repairs. If he’s harassing the repair guys, that’s a big red flag.
Sounds like your landlord might be in violation of your peaceable enjoyment of the property. If it keeps up, you might want to look into taking legal action or at least sending a formal letter saying you’re done with this behavior.
