Today, my landlord started showing my apartment, where I have lived and paid rent for over 2 years, to prospective tenants. I didn't realize that I was moving. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my landlord sold the apartment I’ve been renting for 10 years without telling me. I found this out when the new owners showed up at the door with boxes. FML
Today, I found out that my landlord had been showing my apartment to new tenants without telling me, when I woke up this morning to a family of four staring at me scratching my nuts whilst watching TV on my couch in my pajamas, horrified. FML
Today, I learned that the house I've been living in and paying rent for the past two months was never advertised as vacant. I learned this when the actual homeowners walked in, and called the police for an "intruder." FML
Today, I was on my couch when my landlord walked in. He asked what I was doing there. I responded with the same question. Apparently my roommate forgot to call me and tell me that our lease ended three days ago. I am now standing in the parking lot with all my belongings, and it is raining. FML
Today, I was finally starting to relax after a stressful and expensive move, where I had to give up half my belongings and furniture, as well as my cat. All the stress came rushing back as my new landlord told me that he's selling the building and I've got 30 days to vacate. FML
Today, I rented a house for 5 years with my girlfriend, only to find out she is the actual owner. FML
Today, my boyfriend moved out and took all his things with him. He also took some things that didn't belong to him, namely my rent money. My landlord comes tomorrow. FML
Today, I found out, through Facebook, that my landlord hadn't been paying the mortgage on the house I'm renting from him. It's going into foreclosure. FML
Today, my landlord told me he is raising my rent next month. I thought he was kidding until he asked if I still wanted to live here. My landlord is also my live-in boyfriend. FML
Today, I moved into my new apartment. My neighbor is apparently crazy and thinks I'm trying to 'steal' her husband. She watches me and is super paranoid. I have a two year lease. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

as landlord i had to give notice to the tentents before i could go in even if the tentends are moving they still have rights and have to be follow. The landlord is in the wrong could get charge for trespass even if he own the unit. It is still there home until they are moved. So op charge him with trespassing

Land owners are required by American federal law to provide at least three weeks notice prior to; renting, selling or demolishing occupied space, or evicting a tenet for viable reasons.

I don't think that matters, seeing how the OP lives in Canada.

Op also didn't say he was being evicted or anything. It was only an apartment showing. That could still be three weeks :P.

S/he meant "It's not just that he should have, but that he is legally required to have notified OP."

I don't know what's going on in your landlord's head. I have no idea if he hates you or anything like that. I just know that I have no idea why he became a landlord in the first place. Like other people have said, you have to give notice before you enter someone's apartment or kick them out and, if you send a notice, you have to follow up to take sure that the tenant got the notice. Being a landlord does not give you freedom to do whatever you want in your house. It's a shame that people feel they can abuse their power and not follow the law. You should ask him why he is invading your apartment when you still live there and have not gotten a notice about moving out. If he kicks you or or anything like that, you need to take him to court because he was unlawfully trying to sell your apartment and did not notify you that you have to leave.

This is probably different in other countries, but over here there are some small addendums to those rules. First off, you must likely signed a lease contract for the apartment, those usually stipulate you only have to be present for him to show the apartment. He only has the ask permission if you are not at home. Secondly, you are obligated to make your apartment available if he informs you of prospects coming (within reason though). Thirdly, he does not have to follow up on said notice, assuming he presented it in a correct way. For example, if he put a note in your mailbox, he can safely assume you got the notice, since you are most likely the only one using that mailbox. But if he taped it to your door, it is very easy for it to get lost.
