Do you consider this to be OK or not (Tenants VS Landlord)

We told the landlord to call and we would be there for her to go into the home. So you don't see an issue with an adult you don't know being somewhere with your kids alone? No other companies do that? Are you a parent?

My husband was literally 5 minutes up the street and. The kids actually were not left the older kids ride the bus home. Please tell me what did I do wrong?

@llwilkins Why are you filing a complaint against the landlord? Because you left your kids home alone and the landlord gave notice to go in. Unless the landlord has done something before or suspect them to steal something you would have a case. I have never had an issue with a landlord, and as long as they give 24 hours notice to go within they are not breaking the law. I don't see the issue here what so ever. Only the fact you left your kids alone and think the landlord will kidnap them or something. You gave the landlord notice therefore they are not breaking the law no matter if someone is home or not. If you a re not comfortable then don't leave your kids alone period. If something did happen the law would go against you for leaving your kids alone assuming they are younger.

Right!! Are you a parent? Most companies I know have policies against being anywhere alone with kids. I am fuming right now. Because no one has the right to just barge in my home where my kids are when we are not there. I am seriously thinking of just buying b/c I can't deal with the craziness associated with renting. We pay almost 2000 in Rent and my space should be my space. The kids said she literally just peeped into every room???? Really? We are not kids we are grown adults and I am just not happy about this issue.

@NJChicaa I guess being a parent you just feel a different type of way. Like..... You provide for your kids a home and your kids should always be welcome there and feel safe there. N any adult just like you they should just have enough respect. I mean she called and he stated I am only 5 minutes away and already on my way. She knows we have kids and knows they were there. I just don't understand the respect in this world anymore. When did adults stop being respectful. I mean I'm saying if I was in my home at that age I would feel very uncomfortable with someone I have never seen before entering into my home. Again as an adult u could have been more respectful and waited a few additional moments until an adult was home.

@llwilkins Like I said, I wouldn't have gone in there with unsupervised children but it was her right as the landlord. and, no, I'm not a parent but that is neither here nor there. You asked if the landlord was wrong and I gave my opinion. You didn't state that you only wanted opinions from parents.

My middle schoolers are not there when my husband picks up the kids and we should not have to shuffle our lives around because someone wants to stop by. This is our first time renting in Raleigh and we were just not expecting this. My husband is a manager and therefore we rent because he can easily get called to manage a store next week in a different state. All the other places we have been NO one and I mean NO ONE has even ever entered our home until we moved out. It just feels like a violation of our privacy. I heard a story from a woman that she had come down in her towel and a man just walks in her home and say hes checking the bulbs. Are you freaking kidding me? Renters should have better rights then this. With paying 2000.00 a month I should not have to deal with crap like this. I am sorry they should have some kind of law against this. I believe you should only be able to enter a rental if the person is not paying their bill. If the renters are paying on time every single month you should respect their space and that money should cover privacy as well.

Guys I don't mean to offend anyone I am truly just venting but it did bother me when someone mentioned I did something wrong. I am doing the same thing a mother that buys her home does. She allows her middle schoolers to get off the bus at home without being there. How do I know because I grew up with tons of middle schoolers who were turnkey kids and parents worked while owning their own home.

@llwilkins I agree you shouldnt have to shuffle your lives but that is the unfortunate thing about renting an apartment you are on their time and you have to abide by what they want because you signed a contract. What they do when they walk through your place is indeed a violation of privacy but you have absolutely no say in it because it their property. That is one of the biggest reasons I hate renting especially in an apartment, they can go through whenever as long as they give you a notice prior to doing so. I completely understand your concern and frustrations but unfortunately there is nothing you can do.
