I moved into this apt 8 mos ago. I live with my 18 yr old daughter and her infant son. I rent from a rental agency. Problem is the building owner stops by, comes in without announcement, always has. It has gotten worse. Within days of moving in, the roof started leaking, I reported it. They did nothing. The owner called and said he'd take care of it. Months later, and three letters, several phone calls, we were living with pots scattered about the living room and a gaping hole. Finally I called the health department, it had taken them five months for them to repair. All the while I paid my rent, was never late. When I did that, both the agency and owner freaked out on me.
We are the only tenants in this two unit building, Since the health depo call, the Landlord comes in everyday, drives by twice a day. Complains about everything. Including the stroller in our hallway. Complained that we had cable. Last month they had cut backs at work, I called the management company on 11/23 to notiy them I would be late with Dec rent due on the 5th. I told them I'd have it by the 15th. The owner came to my place today, pounded on the door and said to pay the rent. Rents two days late.
I'm starting to get scared. He seems to buly me. I'm a pretty small woman, Like I said he drives by and watches at least twice a day. It's freaky. I told the leasing agent about this, but nothing has been done. Do I have any rights whatsoever? Anyone know?
