Landlords gonna landlord

Today, my new landlord and lettings agent made an illegal entry into my house. Unfortunately, at the time my boyfriend was buck naked, smoking a joint on the sofa, surrounded by the cats we aren't supposed to have. FML

It doesn't matter how many illegal things he was doing. Anything seen or any evidence was taken illegally and you cannot be prosecuted through it.

Completely legal. If someone complained about the smell of the pot, the cats or anything breaking the lease or anything that could have become a legal issue he has every right to enter.

This FML reminds me of It Wasn't Me by Shaggy.

First of all YDI for your bf doing a blunt. Gain some maturity and find someone mature himself. On the other hand, they can't do anything to you, as it was an illegal entry. Though they did own the place so idk.

Having worked in property management, the landlord typically has to notify in writing. OP could've easily forgot the notification or threw it out or is just lying about not knowing before hand. Seen it dozens of times. I'm putting money in the fact that the landlord had given prior notification....or there is a clause in the lease that allows for inspection without notice. Also, the vast majority of leases state that the property can be inspected and shown if the lease has expired and the tenant is on month-to-month. tl;dr the OP is probably lying or ignorant and the landlord did nothing wrong.

Bullshit. Notice is usually given in an email (modern era, hello?) and have had "notifications" which skim the 24 hours notice requirement by literal seconds, and one which was a full three minutes too late and we could have refused entry - and that's by a large corporate letting agency. My last flat the landlord was insane and possibly part of some sort of criminal slum-lord family (never fixed anything and when we googled the family we found a prosecution against what i believe was her father). She sure as hell didn't always give notice before turning up (although i don't actually think she had keys, thank god, and we never had any reason to refuse entry). My point is, i can believe they failed to give notice. P.s. there is no clause in any lease which can negate the legal requirement for 24 hours notice in the UK
