Janice K asked:
The rental officer/manager/leaser in the building would go into people’s rooms when tenants are not in and check if the rooms are tidy. She would sometimes tell me to clean up my room. I was offended that she would just open the door without my permission. As my understanding the building staff has no rights to enter a room except for maintenance purposes.
Just now she knocked on my door, asked if she could come look at my room, because the building has very strict policies about cleaniness. My room has clutter, but has no odor, and not dirty at all that would in anyway attract insects. To my surprise she asekd me to loan her $70 for her new glasses and she would give me back later. Of course I said no.
Can I file a complain about her?
What do you think her motives are for entering people’s rooms?
It’s an apartment.
Once in a while everyone get a letter saying that oh, we need to check your fuse box, or something like that.
But then the building manager would tell me I needed to clean my room, that’s what the inspection was for.
I suspect my room is being checked once a month, but without formal notification from the management, because who’s going to issue letters telling tenants they are going to check for cleaniness?
