[quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure if you're coming back, op, but I would certainly advise a strongly worded letter in response to your landlord's violation of your privacy and overstepping and lack of notice.  Something like:

Dear Landlady,

I am writing with a concern regarding your recent visit to my home on [date] and your subsequent commentary regarding cleanliness.

I am the legal resident of this home and neither I nor my roommates, also signatories to our lease agreement with you, gave you permission to enter our home on [date].  We were given no prior notice for your visit nor was there any emergency reason for you to be on the property.  The lease agreement grants you reasonable access with 24 hours notice for purposes of maintenance.  There was no maintenance done during this visit.

Furthermore, your presence in my bedroom with no permission or prior notice, without any emergency cause, was a violation of my privacy and our lease agreement.  In addition, there is no clause of our lease agreement requiring me to maintain certain guidelines regarding organization of my clothing and and other possessions on the property.   You have no right to dictate how I organize my room, nor should you have been present in my room in order to critique how it appeared.

In addition, you have attempted to impose rules verbally that are not at all in our lease agreement, such as that we may not have overnight guests and that we  may not take food out of the kitchen.  You have no right under the law to impose these rules nor do we intend to abide by them.

Your intrusive and frequent visits are limiting our ability to feel safe in our own home and to believe that our privacy is protected.  In the future, we will require you to abide by our written lease agreement, which requires 24 hours notice and cause for your entry to the property.  We ask that you cease any communication with us that does not pertain to the terms of our lease agreement.

We have been good tenants and are entitled under the law to the safe and private enjoyment of the property for which we have leased access until the end of our lease term.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Signed,
Tenant[/quote]
