ugh. they started today. i woke up at 7 to move my car and eat. then i fell back asleep for a while, and was disturbed because of voices nearby. turns out, there were 4 people in my living room (which isn't separated from the bedroom except for french doors.) so i am all disoriented and asleep and they start wandering around my bedroom while i'm getting out of bed. i didn't have a boner, but what if i had!

then they start asking me questions about the apartment the price and the neighborhood.

no call, no knock. sigh.

you should have walked out naked to prove a point

At least you werent lying there having a wank over some porn.

thats what i'm afraid of. he said "ill be back at 3 to show again!"

so it's 1:15 and just took a shower but am dressing freakishly fast and scared of every noise i hear.

What you need to do is set up some really awful/wierd/strange situation for them to walk into...

Legally they have to give you 48 hrs warning.

By Chicago tenant law, they cannot enter your apartment without giving you TWO days notice unless it's an emergency. Just an FYI.

Sucks though, we got into it big time with our landlord and his real estate agent about showing our place. People just have no fucking concern or common sense.

Okay so I should've read the thread. :)

i had to get new locks on the last house i was in after giving notice of moving out, because the landlord was sneaking in my place while i was at work all the time. when i left i threw out the old locks that were there and took the new ones i bought with me, leaving them with a place anyone could walk into. i was proud of myself.

the dude called me 2 days ago and said "i show your apartment someday." he doesn't speak english.

is that notice? or do they have to give notice each time they enter? or can they say "we're showing your apartment" 48 hours before the first time and just have freedom?

wear a "SPEAK ENGLISH OR DIE" tshirt and boxer ensemble next time he show it someday. is your landlord monte<b><font size="1000000">LDS</font></b>?

should i let my penis hang out of the boxer flap?

i'm actually fixing to have my boyfriend come over and have sex with me in the living room.

They don't have freedom for anything if it has to do with your apartment. You should tell him that he needs to give you 2 days notice, he needs to tell you exactly when the people are coming, and if he wants to show it twice he has to let you know that when he calls you, otherwise he'll have to wait another 2 days.

Well, that's what I'd say anyhow...and that's your right. He obviously speaks enough English to schedule showing appointments with the clients, I'm sure he can give the same courtesy to you. If he doesn't understand, mention the words "legal action" and I'm sure he'll start to comprehend.

hahaha YES

he is just the handy man. the leasing agents and building owner apparently don'tshow the apartments.

AND they are leasing through a company called apartment finders, so the agent comes with the prospective renter. and asks me questions about how the apartment works and how big the closets are. wtf. isn't that her job

thats what boxer flaps are for, i've recently discovered.

you should set up a camera to get all parties involved and their reactions and uh... porntube it.

Call apartment finders and complain to the broker. Leasing agents hold the same rules and regulations that real estate agents do. That's not right and you have the right to do something about it.

he also has the right to let it slide and not give a fuck until the next time it happens. guy sounds like a montelds type of dude and didnt know how to communicate properly. he obviously tried, doesnt seem like a coincidence to me. just because you can complain doesn't mean you should all the time. but everyone has the right to be cunt. and everyone has the right to call cunts, cunts.

cool.

i was in my kitchen, doing dishes, and 2 more people wandered in.(and the handy man, who has keys) no call or even knock. i guess they think the apartment is not occupied.

i called and politely told the manager what was doing. she kept apologizing for the inconvenience. and i kept saying it wasn't inconvenient, it was just kinda scary to wake up almost naked with a bunch of people in my room. and i'd rather get a phonecall naked and have 2 minutes to get prepared for people coming into my place than nothing at all.

she even brought up the law and said "that should not be happening, we've told jose this many times, but i guess he doesn't understand."

GOD FUCKING DAMMIT JOSE WHAT IS THAT GUY'S FUCKIN' DEAL

he's so cute. my oven hasn't worked since i moved in a year ago. and i've called him 3 times to fix it, and he just says the pilot light isn't on, but it is. and he lights it more i guess. and it doesn't work still. i gave up.

then he became not so cute.

when my garbage disposal exploded and rancid meat and shit were all over my flooded kitchen, he came to help and said "you can leave my friend ill finish!" so i went to get us both some coffee. i came back, he had left, gone through my drawers and used my personal towels to clean up the meat and shit. then he just threw them in the bathtub. so i drank his fucking coffee!

he also has locked me out of my apartment about 4 times.


i can't wait to move.

GOD FUCKING DAMMIT JOSE WHAT IS THAT GUY'S FUCKIN' DEAL


i'm sensing a pattern here.
