I'm not sure about where you live but here they need to give me at least a 24 hr. notice.

- Yes...I agree with this. Mine has to give me 24 hour notice.

- That's what I thought Maverick, so if I am not home, I should be informed of any entry on his part?
  Thanks +++

- I think it is a perfectly reasonable request. I'm sure the caretaker would understand, or at least should. I don't think they would appreciate someone dropping by on them un-announced. Even if it was to fix something.

If you do not give him permission to enter you can actually have him arrested for breaking in. It won´t stick but it scares him.
There are far more laws securing your privacy and security then that there are laws thatallow him to come in.
You have to learn to be a bastard to some peoples. You will win this struggle, you cannot loose. Stand on your rigths.

- Thanks for the answer++. I willdefinitely look into some of those laws.

I had a jerk like that in Florida. He would walk right in my house because he was the landlord. I left him a letter and told him if he did it again I was calling the police.

- Excellent Sharona. +
  Thing is, I come home to piddly things fixed, my cats are constantly freaking out, and I never see any calls on my phone! This is creeping me out to the point that I put the chain on the door when I take a shower, even though he SEEMS to be sneaking in only when we are not home.
  I'd like to set something up so I can bust him coming in.

- It seems very illegal. I don't know what kind of lease you have but that is very wrong. It's nice to have things fixed but I'd rather not have anything done than have some ignorant jerk lurking around my sanctuary. I hope you can do something.

- Lurking...ugh. Thanks Sharona. I will start by "requesting" a phone call before any "work" is done. Wish me luck.

Based on our limited engagements, I could see why the caretaker might be enticed to frequently visit you. Take it as a compliment (from me as well as the caretaker), and let the caretaker know that you appreciate your privacy and would welcome at least five minutes to throw the weatherman out before s/he comes to visit.
Comments
- In a better state, I would be thrilled,(or highly alarmed:)
  Do I know you?

- I hope so. But maybe not beyond AB, where we are friends, at least for today. ;)

You will want to check your local statutes at the City Hall, but such I believe is a mandated notice requirement.
