[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no idea where to place this post.

My question is is there a tool or something that will allow me to stop people from entering a rented house? My family rented a beach house recently and upon returning home we notice someone accessed our laptops and other items and made changes.

Also another crappy thing I experienced was the last time I was selling a home. We bought a new house and put our house on the market a few weeks after we moved in to the new house. We lived less that a mile away and I checked on the house regularly. I saw people in my house who had visited the house previously and they had not used the automated system. The real estate agent representing the couple had made a copy of our the key in the lockbox and were going in regularly. When I told my agent, she said I shouldn't complain as they were the best offer we had on the house.  [/quote]

For rented property, it is not your property and you cannot lock others out. The owners have the right to enter as they wish.

For the selling the house part, that is the fault of your RE agent, allowing unfettered access to your house. it might be in the fine print of the agreement you signed. Always sell a house yourself or use a proxy that you trust, not a RE stranger. Saves you tens of thousands in fees also. [/quote]

Owners have to give notice if they want to come in. This person gave us no notice and had a neighbor coming in as far as the garage. He may have come in the house as well. [/quote]
