Yeah, around here landlords like to think they can come and do whatever they want on the property you are renting from them, but the law basically says that while you are renting it from them you have a right to privacy and the freedom to do what you want, so long as it's not illegal. I had to learn all about renter's rights, when that same landlord tried to kick me out so she could sell the place. It took her months to get me out, because I knew the rules and she didn't. I wanted to leave anyway, but was hedging my bets to stay as along as possible, while trying to buy a house of my own. I basically turned her 60-day notice into 6-months of residence. She didn't know how to properly give notice, and I also pointed out to her that I had a least that she was trying to end early. Finally after months she hired a lawyer who threatened a bunch of lawyer expenses and such. I think I would have won if I took it to court, but by that point I was in escrow on my house so bailed before the shit hit the fan. I fkn hated being a renter, and so glad I'm not anymore.
