Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

landlord entering without notice. I've been dealing with this for about 5 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been in this property for 1 years. My monthly rent is $3,614. I have a written lease.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

NAL, but from what I've read, you should file a complaint. That's the general rule anyway, exceptions exist.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

I eventually got results by escalating/manager. It took 1-3 months but was worth it.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's labor board? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

Real talk: not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. But don't just take my word for it, get real legal advice.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.
