I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.
landlord entering without notice. I've been dealing with this for about 14 months now and the situation isn't improving.
I have been in this property for 3 years. My monthly rent is $2,109. I have a written lease.
What's the typical outcome in situations like this?
Attorney here. Here's my take on the legal issues.
There are several legal theories that could apply here. The strongest is probably state landlord-tenant code, which requires showing in violation of notice requirements.
Before taking legal action, consider sending a formal demand letter. In many cases, this alone resolves the issue.
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.
I've dealt with this before.
What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.
Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.
In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager.
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.

Been there. Here's what I learned.
The biggest mistake people make in this situation is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.
I went through almost the exact same thing.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.
