My wife and I currently rent in a courtyard villa. Today as we are in the house my cats come in like something was wrong. I looked out the window and see the landlords in the courtyard weeding. We have been landlords for years and always gave 24 hrs notice when we were coming over. I can see if they are doing something out front without notice but coming into the rear courtyard. Don’t think this is right.

Well, what does your rental agreement say? They are not all the same.

Let me get this right
The land lords are pulling weeds and your upset
Guess my question is,
What if weekly landscape company was mowing and pulling weeds.
Would want 24 hour notice ?

Lease says 24 hrs notice. And it is concrete with a few weds coming through the cracks. Would you want you landlord just coming over. You pay rent to have privacy A call would have been sufficient.

As a landlord I never rent to anyone having a cat much less cats. They are very destructive in many ways: the scratching, urine and fecal odors, fur....

You are also fortunate your landlord weeds for you. It could be up to you and you apparently let the yard go.

Count your blessings!

You are correct the landlord should have given you notice, you have a right to privacy. You are also EXTREMELY fortunate to have found someone that would allow cats. My parents make their living with rentals. They have 12 rentals in NYC. They would rather have an apartment go empty for a year than allow cats. You are lucky.

Foolish landlord. That is one way to get hurt, people shoot you for less. Am I the only one who sees this?

His house, his rules. Read your lease before posting.

I don’t see any difference from a lawn guy taking care of the lawn or the owner, it’s not like they wanted in the house. Our lawn guys don’t announce when they come and go.

I did read it. 24 hrs notice. And tenants do have rights. Just like my tenants did

There is no lawn. What are gates for. So anyone can just come into your gated area whenever they want.

Ok, you didn’t mention it. Did you call the landlord out ? If not, he’ll do it again.

My wife wouldn’t let me. Lol. Next time I will if it happens.

Being a landlord and having a lease with my tenants, there is a 24 hours notice clause, but that is to enter the home, come inside.

If I had to give notice when my lawn guy goes to mow or pull weeds or trim shrubs, I can promise you it would never happen. And if you called him or me out for it, I would have you added to the renters blacklist we maintain for those undesirable tenants none of us want.

Then if it’s that upsetting you might have a conversation with them. After all posting here won’t get their attention, or give them an idea that you are this upset.
