Renters Rights

[Joe Vanty]

I am currently renting a house in NC. I have 2 years left on my lease. My landlord is bickering with my neighbor over some bushes that my landlord claims were on their property. The boundary map clearly shows that my neighbor was in the right. My landlord won't let it die and is making a huge deal out of this. I am in the military and am looking at deploying soon and don't want my wife to have to deal with this while I am gone.

Does the landlord have the right to 1) come on the property without my permission? 2) Have landscapers come in and uproot the yard to put a bunch of bushes in? 3) Can I make them all just wait until my lease runs out before they continue this madness?

Thanks for any help/advice.

Your landlord can come "on" their property any time he likes. (within reason) He CAN NOT enter your residence without your permission.

If your really concerned, I would suggest making a phone call and set up a "formal" meeting, and express your concerns, you have that right. Especially if your rent is current and on time.
