What are the laws concerning someone who rents a home and is the landlord of the home allowed to come in at any time?

Laws will be different from country to country, and possibly even from state to state in the US. I think virtually everywhere in the US, a landlord does not have the right to enter a rented (up-to-date) property at any time. Your rent doesn't give you full ownership of the property, but it does give you certain rights. The privacy of your home is something you should be able to expect when you rent and are current. The landlord does own the property, however, and has the right to inspect the property after giving you adequate notice (and possibly under other circumstances according to the law). You'll have to check local/state laws.

∙ 11y agoIn South Carolina can a landlord enter your home when you are not there and now an expensive ring is missing since there inspection.
Generally speaking, in just about any state, a landlord may not enter a tenant's dwelling without giving the tenant proper notice. Given the proper notice, even if the tenant is not home, the landlord can enter for whatever purposes he has so stated on the notice.
If you are missing something as a result of this inspection, and you feel that the landlord took the item in question, you have the right to call police and make a report. However, unless you have renters insurance, there is no way to recover any loss or damage that occurs as a result of the landlord's inspection. The landlord does not have any liability for anything that may be missing in the tenant's home, unless it can be proven, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the landlord took the items. And then it becomes an issue to be resolved in criminal court.

Can you get approved to rent an apartment while collecting unemployment?
It would depend on the requirements of your new landlord. Since rents are ussually paid in advance it is not like the landlord is issuing credit. The landlord may want to validate the renter ablility to pay and payment history to insure the landlord is renting to someone he will not have to evict in 30 days. Contact the landlord and let hime/her understand your situation.

If you co-signed for an apartment and you no longer stay there due to personal issues can you remove your name from the lease?
Your lease most likely has a provision against "subletting" your apartment. Any changes in renters must be approved by the landlord, and that includes adding or removing names off the lease. The landlord decides "who" rents from them ... not the tenant.
What are the legal rights of a tenant who owns the trailer but rents the lot space and is locked out by the landlord due to a dispute over rental payments?
locked out of trailerFirst you need proof of the rent you paid.A receipt should have been given to you by your landlord. UNLESS a sherrif served you with eviction papers or you were given a legal document you should be allowed to get your stuff.I don't know what your lease says, so I would look it over carefully so you know exactly what your rights are and if they have been violated.The courthouse in your county should be able to set up a civil mediation meeting where you and your landlord try to come to terms without legalities. If the landlord doesn't show then I would go to your magistrate and ask what you can do. If you make an attempt to work it out it always looks better on you. Good luck! States establish landlord/renter laws including eviction procedures. Most states do not allow "self-help" evictions by landlords.The best option is for the tenant to contact the local housing authority or legal aid society to determine the applicable laws for his or her state of residency.
