Re: Notice of Entry violations- what IS the law? by Feeling Violated (Arkansas) on November 2, 2010 @15:48

                              
I tried to tell them it wasnt and hasnt been a problem in the last 6 1/2 years --- the other guy was great.. The LL said other guy didnt do his job right so someone else is doing it now.. that I have not known for more than one inspection. Right now I feel like I cant talk to them at all reasonably because they've said if I dont agree to THEIR TERMS I can move. I dont even care about a schedule. Just a broad "hey, Handyman will be checking filters this week...or tomorrow" and I can make arrangements to MY schedule to fit theirs. I dont mind doing that... they say they dont have time to notify all the time. Landlord told me in a messege this morning that she doesnt have time for stuff like this, I either agree-- or move.

If you will notice, the landlord has stopped threatening you with an eviction because this is not legally possible. Her attitude is common among many bully landlords. Long term renters who pay on time are a treasure. This landlord would be stupid to try to push you out.

    I was just reading through the Arkansas LT Law and it says...
    "In Arkansas, a landlord may give notice of termination for any reason. Even if you are a model tenant..."

You have way too much of your life tied up in this particular rental -- remember that renting is a temporary proposition in most of the country (exclusing rent-controlled area like NYC). If you've backed yourself into the position of being so tied into the property that you MUST acquiesce to unreasonable requests by the LL for fear of being evicted, you have given up all control to the LL. You have options, such as sue him for violation of the LL/T act (entry without reasonable notice), BUT assuming you do not have a current lease and are, in fact, a M2M tenant, all he has to do is give you a 30-day notice to terminate the tenancy and off you go. If you're that tied to the property for personal reasons, you should have been renewing your annual lease year after year, instead of being uncovered as you now are.

Good luck.

"...so someone else is doing it now.. that I have not known for more than one inspection."

At one time, you didn't know the other guy for more than one inspection either. I think you should tell the LL as I advised earlier and just settle this. If you just want to go on and on about how they have you over a barrel because you can't possibly move your life elsewhere, then I guess you know where you stand and you should just stop sniveling about it. Yes, that sounds harsh, but you didn't even consider the earlier advice given, you're just going on and on about how helpless you've made yourself. I'm a little jaded.

    Im trying to understand the law, where my recourse options are (if any) to resolve the issue with the law on my side but also not compromise the communication with the landlord. I'm not trying to appear as if Im "sniveling" or giving up to helplessness.

    As for your other response, we do have a lease- and its due for renewal in December.
