[QUOTE="Lil, post: 724254, member: 17309"] Okay...I'm not familiar with California Landlord/Tenant law. But in Missouri a landlord DOES have the right (generally - it's usually written into the lease) to enter and inspect for the purpose of determining if the lease is being violated or the tenant is committing waste (that is to say, wrecking the place). Generally the lease will say you can't leave trash piling up and you must keep the place in a clean, habitable condition. It does NOT give them the right to dictate what your furniture looks like - if you choose to sit on milk crates and leave your TV on the floor and sleep in a sleeping bag in the kitchen - that's entirely YOUR BUSINESS! If you DO have a lease, then your rights and their rights are spelled out in the document. If you do not - for instance, your lease lapsed and you never signed another one - in Missouri at least you would be a "hold-over" tenant and you would simply be month to month...and either of you could terminate that relationship upon 30 days written notice. It makes no sense for you to be a hold-over tenant - if they wanted you out under those circumstances, there are easier ways to put you out. So...that leave a lease and in that case unless they have the right to dictate your furnishings clearly spelled out in the lease, you are being harassed. SEE A LAWYER! There is legal aid. There are places like the Samaritan Center and some other charity organizations that have attorney's for free consultations. GOOGLE IT! This won't end unless you make it end. [/QUOTE]
