strangers keep comming to my house

OH MY! I'm afraid that I would have had to say something to that man. That is over the top. To ring the bell and ask a question is one thing, but one should NEVER be looking in another person's windows!!! I would make a very polite but to the point notice and put it in one of those plastic protectors and post it on my door. The sign would advise folks that you do not know anything and do not wish to be bothered, and to call the number provided on the sign! Doesn't it make you wonder why some people just lack what should be very basic social skills?

Some people just don't care , good luck you get a good neighbor. Place a sign and I've seen this done next to the for rent sign that says please do not ask tenant here as they have no information , something to that effect.

I think I would have to get in touch with the who ever runs the duplex and tell them what is going on. The next thing I might put a sign on my door saying something like my appartment is not for rent and I don't know anything about the one that is. As far as someone looking in my daughters bedroom windo now that might have been a real bad scene. I am very over protective and that man would definately be sorry he did that. He would be lucky if I did not call the police and have him locked up.

Who owns the duplex? I wouldn't like being bothered by people coming around the apartment like they are doing to you. That is not very safe for you and your daughter for number one. I would get a hold of the apartment manager or owner and let them know what is going on. I couldn't stand living in that situation and I would even be afraid to go to bed because of it. Maybe if you tell your landlord or the manager about, something can be done about it. those people have no right to gaze into your windows at all. That is very dangerous of them to do also because now days people will shoot someone for doing things like that. People never know if that person is there to see the duplex or if they are a stalker or something.

calling the phone number on the rent sign to complain would be a good idea... or let the authorities handle it...

Its realy unsafe to stay in that apartmants . Iam sacered of it .Frist thing i would do is tell the apartment manger or the ownner of the falt .just say them and see if they dont resopen it better to complent to police .If not you ill be in big problem speicaly you have daughter.so should take decions as quick as possible

Well yes this is rude and a major invasion of privacy, you'd think that people would know better. I guess it's one thing to have someone looking through your kitchen window (which is bad enough), but having people looking in bedroom windows where people change their clothes, this is scary. If I were you, I wouldn't have been afraid to call the police..that's pretty scary. Even though you shouldn't have to, I'd be keeping your blinds closed at all times now!

Well that is outrightly rude to poke yourself in others house.I feel this problem with remain with you unless and until that house is rented. So why not get that house rented by some friend of yours so that you have a friend nearby and this problem of people coming to your house is over.

i understand what you feel...but if you choose not to let them in you can..just put a signboard in your door to whatever you wish to relay about the rent..

That is totally inappropriate! I would call the # and get in touch with the manager/owner and let them know what is going on. Looking in you window - that is invasion of your rights and privacy. I wouldn't want a neighbor who'd be doing stuff like that! Can you post a sign in your window for now, or at your door that you do not have any info and that they need to call the # listed. You could put a Private note on the window, or you'll have to keep all your curtains closed til the place is rented. That really sucks -- not at all fair to you, and scary to boot!

Wow, that is so very rude. You could have called the cops on that guy, I hope he realizes that. I can understand people walking around the property, just to see it's upkeep, or asking you a question if you happened to be outside, but not wandering up to your windows and have a look! Like others have said, you should post a nice big sign on your porch or door saying do not disturb tenant, call phone number on sign for information. Good Luck. Hopefully some polite person will rentit soonand you won't have to worry anymore.

Post a sign in your window saying "I am not the landlord and know nothing about the unit next door.....for more info call the number provided"

I wouldn't bother the neighbor in a duplex to ask questions, but I DEFINATLY wouldn't just start poking around to see what the place looked like! I would have been LIVID to see somebody looking around anywhere in my windows and all esp my kids' room!

That is very rude and would quickly become annoying! I agree with the previous poster that you should place a sign saying that you have no information and not to disturb you, some people just don't think!

That is very rude. I definitely would call the number on the sign myself and complain. Explain to him what his sign is doing to your piece of mind. That is very unsafe to have people looking in your daughters window. I think I would buy some blinds so that I could keep those people from looking in. You also could post a sign saying that you know nothing about the place for rent. Also along with that a do not disturb sign. Let your friends know about the sign so that they knew that it was not meant for them. People have no common sense. If they did they would not be doing the unthinkable things that they are doing.

That is really rude!! I would put a sign on my front door that says you don't know anything about the other duplex for rent so don't bother knocking!! I can't imagine knocking on someones door especially if there is a phone number to call! People are crazy, keep your doors locked!

Not a very nice thing...thou you might try adding a second sign that says : If you come at that door - and ask about the other apartment...bring a lot of cash.It's 100$ per question! (Ain't a museum and we don't like visitors).Or better yet....try a sign that says : you will be shot...if ask about other appartment ////bring cookies and milk!

just hang a board with comment we are not using our house for tents

i would freak out if somebody looked in my child's window like that.. it's rude,but not unusual-when i lived in complexes it got to the point where i'd have to keep my curtains shut all the time-but that was more because we had a lot of break-ins,like they were window shopping. as other people have said,i would either have the landlord put up a do not disturb tenants note,or do it myself. i would also ask the landlord to open the apartment curtains if he hasn't already-then they have no excuse to look in yours.

Wow! I would put a sign on my door... "This side of the duplex is not for rent. Please refer to the number on the other side, and any questions you have should be answered! Thanks!" But that's just me. I don't like having my privacy invaded... even if those invading mean well. Ya know?
