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?
I practice in this area. Here's my take on the legal issues.
There are several legal theories that could apply here. The strongest is probably your state's security deposit statute, which requires showing properly documented.
The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.
I've seen this play out several times in my field.
In my case, it took about 2-4 months to resolve. The key was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter.
NAL, but from what I've read, you should check your state's specific laws. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.
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.

In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.
Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.
What worked for me was escalating to a supervisor/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 ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
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.
