I received a notification from my landlord today that there will be
an inspection of the apartments on wednesday and thursday and to make
the apartment available. I have lived in apartments for 32 years and
never was told I had to have my apartment inspected. They also said
if there were any questions, to contact the office. I did. I wanted to
know what they were inspecting for. The office manager said that the
letter explaned everything. I asked again what they were inspecting for
and she said that they do it about 2x a year. I asked again what they
were inspecting for and she said she had to answer the phone. I walked
out. It seems to me that they have to be inspecting for something!!!
WHAT!!. per the information I read about florida's renter's rights, I
have to let them into inspect their property, do repairs etc. But,
shouldn't I be informed what they are going to inspect? It's not that
I have anything to hide or that I'm violating the lease in any way or that
I've broken the law in any way, it's
just that I feel like they are doing an illegal search, or invading my
privacy. Am I totally off the wall or do I have something to feel
concerned about. I know that tomorrow is too soon to get anyone to
answer this but, maybe if I get an answer sometime, I'll know what to
do the next time. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
