[QUOTE="klmno, post: 444173, member: 3699"] That's what I thought. BUT- I still have the phone message asking me to return a call "so the owner can schedule a time". Therefore, if I call back and say Sat or Sun afternoon, whichever they prefer, would be fine, I see no reason for me to get a verbal attack over "me acting like I own the house and the rightful owners can't come in". And I would have been happy to explain that communication to any of them if they bothered to listen instead of rage. Since I got the range, me and the dogs will probably just be gone tomorrow afternoon. And in all likelihood, when this lease runs out in a couple of months, they will get their reassurance that I never thought it was "my" house. I have had some carppy landlords in the past. One came in the home on a regular basis when I'd be at work and I figured it out for sure in 2 ways- 1) my underwear in my inderwear drawer was mmisplaced, and 2) I called to get my phone messages from the answering machine one day and hit the wrong number so instead of it going to messages, it turned on the speaker/intercom (I didn't even know it could do that) and darn if the landlord (I recognized his voice) wasn't there egging my dogs on to bark more. These weren't the same dogs I have now- this was about 20 years ago. Anyway, while landlords have their rights, some of them are a little over the top and tenants have their rights, too. I've had great experiences- where I lived there and rented over 4 years- but I've had some rotten ones, too. These people were trying to sell the house but couldn't so ended up renting it- which is how a realtor ended up being a manager for a lease. If the owner wants to walk in anytime she can, that's fine, but she might need to adjust back to not getting a fat check every month. [/QUOTE]
