my landlady went into my room illegally with a candidate and CLEANED IT.
If I didn’t live through it I wouldn’t believe it.
I rent a room in a flat (have been renting for the last 1.5 year). A few weeks ago I asked the landlady if I could stop in June rather than in September (as the rental agreement says). She says that she doesn’t think she’ll find a renter in that time and to give her time till July. I obliged.
She takes the rent money personally, as she only wants cash (we all know why). I told her this time I won’t be in, but I’ll leave the money on a table in the common area (which I sometimes do and she’s okay with it).
Fast forward to yesterday, when she suddenly texts me and says she’s gone into my room (which is illegal without my consent) with a potential new renter. Since I didn’t know she would come I had a bit of a mess. She chastised me for the mess, like I’m her teen kid, not a grown woman.
She said she employed the CANDIDATE and CLEANED MY ROOM WITH HER for me. And she even moved some things just because she decided she didn’t like them there.
Do you get that? She went into my room, brought a STRANGER in and moved my things all without my knowledge or consent. Illegally.
If I knew somebody was coming, I would not only clean, but hide my valuables. I don’t know who the new girl would be. Now I can’t find my earrings and a hairdryer, and also some minor things like scissors or a notebook.
And the best part is that new renter actually AGREED TO RENT and I can move out by the end of June. Which the landlady said all proud of herself and expecting me to thank her.
I will have a talk with her, but I’m thinking of reporting her, not only for the disruption of my personal space, but for the tax evasion too. And theft if I don’t find the stuff she „moved”. I’m just so livid.
