Tenant Claiming Her Privacy Was Violated
Hi All,
I currently have a tenant (in TX) who is claiming her privacy was violated along with the Landlord-Tenant Laws. I notified her on 10/11 that pest control would be coming to the property on 10/13. She responded "Outside Only" which I took as she's only seen bugs on the outside perimeter. Upon entry, the guy discovered a cat which is her second violation of the lease (along with smoking). He took pictures and sent them to me at my request. Now she is claiming her rights were violated because she didn't give permission and someone took photos of "her private space". Of course it has nothing to do with the fact that she got caught red handed (insert eye roll here).
Am I legally obligated to give her the companies info? My gut says absolutely not but I want to make sure I'm in the right.
I can EASILY see now why landlords get made out to be the devil. There is no reasoning with some people.
