Fucking landlord just entered my residence without notice. This is a serious problem. I know he did not snoop around as it was a water emergency but for fuck sakes they have my phone number and know I do not tolerate violations to our agreement. I just informed him that as the beneficiary of a trust ( it pays the rent each month) I must report this incident to the trustee and I'm not sure if he will get a warning notice or an invoice for breach of trust. They are now in a panic, they brought me a litre of wine and begged that I not report them to the trust. Do I give up this sweet spot, not sure, I just moved here (I hate moving). do I send a shot across the bow with a warning notice and fee's in the event they breach the trust again. I am livid!

The property belongs to city council, they are renovating with an excavator indoors and have zero permits to do so. Had they had the permits and professionals doing the work this water issue would not have happened. They entered into an agreement with ESC CTRL, not me, I'm just a tenant with privacy rights, no?

You people seem to think that property rights ONLY APPLY TO YOU, and you ignore the rights of everyone else. He has no permits? GOOD FOR HIM! HE SHOULD BE PROUD!

...but you either own something, or you don't. If you DON'T then POSSESSING it has TERMS AND CONDITIONS. ALWAYS.

I have no problem with lack of permit, but ffs be professional. CALL the tenant, hire people who know how to do the job, it's just less problematic for everyone that way. Oh and I had no intent to call the city. There is no lease or rental agreement, I lived here a year prior in a different apt, I paid the rent cash on time every time. we (ESC CTRL) have a verbal agreement, that is all.

LOL @ David Vilaca (in that ironic way I have of looking at things). I see your point; but Scott and Pete are on the money. You don't own the property and it is a component part of a larger structure. A few other interesting choices for "emergency entry" are gas smell, barking dog, fire...you see where this is going. For now you have a litre of wine - suggest you start drinking it and we take this off-line :)
