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?

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.

Completely legal. If someone complained about the smell of the pot, the cats or anything breaking the lease or anything that could have become a legal issue he has every right to enter.

First of all YDI for your bf doing a blunt. Gain some maturity and find someone mature himself. On the other hand, they can't do anything to you, as it was an illegal entry. Though they did own the place so idk.

Having worked in property management, the landlord typically has to notify in writing. OP could've easily forgot the notification or threw it out or is just lying about not knowing before hand. Seen it dozens of times. I'm putting money in the fact that the landlord had given prior notification....or there is a clause in the lease that allows for inspection without notice. Also, the vast majority of leases state that the property can be inspected and shown if the lease has expired and the tenant is on month-to-month. tl;dr the OP is probably lying or ignorant and the landlord did nothing wrong.

Bullshit. Notice is usually given in an email (modern era, hello?) and have had "notifications" which skim the 24 hours notice requirement by literal seconds, and one which was a full three minutes too late and we could have refused entry - and that's by a large corporate letting agency. My last flat the landlord was insane and possibly part of some sort of criminal slum-lord family (never fixed anything and when we googled the family we found a prosecution against what i believe was her father). She sure as hell didn't always give notice before turning up (although i don't actually think she had keys, thank god, and we never had any reason to refuse entry). My point is, i can believe they failed to give notice. P.s. there is no clause in any lease which can negate the legal requirement for 24 hours notice in the UK
