By HELP - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I moved into a new house. The landlord insists it's OK for her to come up whenever she wants because she owns the house. We aren't allowed to lock the doors and she has two 8-year-olds. They come into the bathroom every time they hear the shower running. We have a clear shower curtain. FML

No. No it's not okay. If I'm not mistaken that's illegal for her to do.

Put a chair in front of the door. That will keep them out. It's not a lock...

This makes me grateful that I live in an apartment owned by a conglomerate. Everything strictly legal.

It may not be that easy for the OP to complain if s/he is in share accommodation or just renting a room. Regardless of that, you deserve your privacy OP, you should not be bullied into these conditions nor should you have to put up with the children. Every person has the right to privacy.

It's illegal you pay rent you have rights if she tries to through you sue her

Preeeeetty sure it's completely illegal for them to do that.

Start walking around naked.

As a landlord myself, I can tell you that what your landlord is doing is illegal. Even if it's in your contract, it's a null clause, due to the fact that it's not legal. The simplest solution would be to change your locks and ignore the stipulation that you can't lock your doors. If the landlord breaks in, you have them on 1st degree B&E if you're home, 2nd degree if you're not. Also, unless they have REASONABLE CAUSE, they cannot enter the premises without your permission. The solution I would personally go for, though, is to press charges for breaking and entering, as well as sexual misconduct for entering your bathroom while you're showering. I would also file a civil suit for mental and emotional anguish.

hell no u better do something about it! the landlord doesn't have a rite lock the ******* doors lol
