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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

It is trespassing it's a total violation of your personal space. Your landlord or his agent had no right to enter your premise, even if they do own that property it does not matter, that is the whole point of you renting it. He should not be able to evict or press charges if he tries to tell them exactly what happened

Actually no it isn't. For two reasons (this FML was posted from the UK so UK law applies). 1) The landlord has the right to enter the property depending on the reason. Randomly popping round is not a valid reason for forced entry. But carrying out inspections is a valid reason. 2) The UK doesn't have trespassing laws. So it isn't trespassing.

I've done a little quick research and found many references to trespass as both a civil and criminal act in the UK. Specifically in the Criminal Law Act of 1977 and later in the Criminal Justice and Public Order act of 1984.

We dont.. Have trespass laws? Where the hell are you? Scotland has "right to roam" but that doesn't extend to your living room and in England you can't even go walking wherever you feel like, because you'd be trespassing on farmers land. Also no, inspections don't negate the 24 hour notice period. Nothing does. Tenants rights dude.

When I rented I always assumed that the land lord would pop in at any time even though they aren't suppose to. It gave me inspiration to buy asap.

Everything goes out the window in court once you make it known that he made an illegal entry.

What happened to then? We passed then. When? Just now. We're at now now. Go back to then. When? Now. Now? Now. I can't. Why? We missed it. When? Just now. When will then be now? Soon.

Everyone's talking about convictions and evictions. Maybe neither will happen. Maybe if they truly weren't allowed entry, they won't press anything. So what I want to know is how long is your lease? Will you be looking for a new home around this time in 1 or 2 years? Perhaps they'll do their best to ensure you can't continue living there.

first off for the people saying "you cant get into trouble because they went in there illegally" the only way that can be true is if they were cops. to make this even more true, they had to have no reason to suspect anything was going on in the first place. if the land lord have had people from their building say "i think so-and-so has pets and i think someone else is also living there" the landlord has every right to go and see wtf is going on. how do i know this? my family owns a place that we rent out, in the contract that the people sign it says we have a right to go in with out permission if "we" think something is up or have been told things have been happening. i say YDI because you have pets when you KNEW you shouldnt have

If you expect your landlord to abide by the rules, so should you. No sympathy. YDI.

Did you really post an FML about getting busted for doing things you aren't supposed to be doing? BTW, why should they adhere to the agreements in the lease you signed, if you don't? Just sayin', you aren't in the right here.
DelphiCat 17
It's not the lease it's the law, although admittedly OP wasn't adhering to that either...
