[quote=Anonymous]I had a similar situation right out of college with a landlord trying to act like my father.  He came in unannounced and then called to say that he thought that the place needed to be kept cleaner / neater and a couple of other rules.  He was quite frankly acting like a dickhead lecturing a 13 year old

After listening to him for a minute I told told him that I had lived under another set of rules at home.  I was not really a fan of the rules but my parents did not charge met rent.  I told him he could either enforce his "rules" or collect rent but not both, he needed to make a choice.  He backpedaled and said that's not the way he meant it.  I said that it was and I was never going to take another silly call from him regarding the apartment.

Second I told him to never enter the apartment again without written notice and that if he did, I would call the police.

Third, I told him that any further discussions regarding the apartment would need to directed to my families attorney.

I hung up the phone and instructed the family attorney to draft a letter documenting the discussion and the instructions to never contact me again.  My attorney added that any further attempted contact with me would be considered harassment and that if he attempted it, we would file a for a restraining order.  My attorney told me that we would never get it but that this would "shut the old bastard up".

I lived out my lease, always paid my rent on time and NEVER heard word one from the landlord again.

Nip it in the bud.
