Today, my new landlord and lettings agent made an illegal entry into my house. Unfortunately, at the time my boyfriend was buck naked, smoking a joint on the sofa, surrounded by the cats we aren't supposed to have. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, police barged into my apartment for a drug raid, but they had the wrong address. They came in while I was naked on my couch and didn't even apologize for breaking my door. FML
Today, a stoned man tried to break into my house. Naked. FML
Today, I returned from a week-long vacation. My landlord told me he had let my boyfriend in my apartment to get something. I don't have a boyfriend. Everything in my apartment is gone. FML
Today, I found out the friend I signed a lease with is actually a wanted drug dealer. I only found this out after the police kicked in the door at 5am and raided our house. FML
Today, I found out the day manager has been illegally entering my apartment when I’m not home. My car was in the shop, so when he saw my parking spot empty, he came right on in. I was just getting out of the shower and was standing stark naked. He didn’t even try to explain. Just smirked. FML
Today, after taking a shower, I realised that my landlord was peeking in the whole time through broken ventilator. Once he tried to get into my room, using his keys. I couldn't tell the landlord's wife, as I didn't have any proof so I left the house, even though my rent was long due. FML
Today, I went outside to smoke a cigarette. When I started to head back in, I saw a shadow move across my bedroom window. I live alone, so I waited outside and called the police. They came and investigated, only to drag my naked boyfriend out, where he promptly dumped me. I forgot our 2-year anniversary. FML
Today, I discovered that my roommate is a drug dealer and has been keeping her product in our flat. I discovered this when several police officers broke down my bathroom door and arrested me while I was in the shower. FML
Today, at 6 a.m., the cops burst into our home. My husband was slammed to the ground and I had a gun pointed at me. I was naked and eight months pregnant. We had moved in the day before, they were coming to arrest the previous tenant. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It doesn't matter how many illegal things he was doing. Anything seen or any evidence was taken illegally and you cannot be prosecuted through it.

I bet if he passes that joint everything will be fine!

Wrong place at the wrong time

I had a landlord like that once. She would just come and go as she pleased without warning. You could be taking a shower and she would walk right in and "inspect" the house and walk right into the bathroom and try to talk about the house and other business. Should sue...

I'm not so sure about the UK but here in the U.S. you wouldn't be evicted since that was seen via an illegal entry. Since they wouldn't have seen that otherwise, and it wasn't apparently obvious, you'd get away scot-free because of some awkward technicality, essentially you can only be busted for the stuff they gathered legally. Then again, totally different country. Not the same, probably doesn't apply there in the UK

UK law allows a landlord to open the door, bit not enter, to call to a tenant, which may have let him see or smell the cats and dope. Or the stoned boyfriend may have yelled "come in" when they knocked, fml shows us people yell things they shouldn't out of habit with alarming frequency.

That law only stands for agents of the law, not homeowners. If I break into your home and find a bloody knife, I can turn it in to the police who can then use it to convict you. Because /they/ weren't responsible for the 'illegal search/seizure'.

Sounds like an episode of family guy... Except you're not supposed to do this in real life. You both deserve it 110%. Thanks for the laugh though. Lol :)

You could sue for unlawful entry and win.

Since they entered illegally, they can't do anything about it! You might want to consider rehoming the cats!

I bet you can still sue them for your money.

Is it written in your lease that he can enter at will without prior notice? If it is, it's not illegal entry.
