My apartment is doing random inspections and I have a tent in my closet. Has anyone ever had to deal with this situation? I’m fine with them inspecting my room but I don’t have a good excuse to not let them inspect my closet. Any suggestions?
Unless you absolutely don’t want them to know or question you then until after the inspection your going to have to move the shit somewhere else. Gotta figure that out but otherwise.. they gonna know
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. They are only inspecting random apartments for some refinancing thing. I believe it’s being done by a 3rd party as the notice they left stated. I was also thinking of just locking the closet and if they ask to inspect it just tell them I have a lot of embarrassing stuff in there. Maybe even tell them I have a bunch of sex toys or dildos in there (I’m a guy so maybe they would take pity on me and leave it be) and tell them if they want to come back in an hour I could get it all cleaned up?? Edit: Also I’m in a large complex, probably 200-300 or more apartments. They are only inspecting 60. So I dunno. Obviously it’s better to be safe than sorry but I just dunno.
Are you in a section 8 housing unit Chances are they will believe you LOL Good luck. You could always rent a U Haul truck and hide your tent and plants in it while they are there
where do you live for it to be ok for someone to come in to your apartment and open your closet... here in spain you need a warrant from a gudge for that dude you shure that's even legal?
I live in Alabama in the US. They have the right to inspect whenever they want as long as they give notice.
Yep legal. Probably was part of the rental agreement. It's extremely common. I'd be more surprised to live in an apartment that didn't inspect yearly. Of course, if they find you growing that's not necessarily the same thing as law enforcement finding out. But I'd expect them to alert the cops. My opinion is, the less people know the better...
No. Just a regular rented apartment in a non-legal state. The uhaul idea is actually genius. Just don’t have any spare money at the moment. Out of work and looking for a job. I’ll definitely remember this for the future. I think I’m just gonna chance it as dumb as that may sound. If they press me for whatever reason to look in the closet I’ll just have to respectfully deny. I’ll tell hem they can come back in 30 minutes and I’ll get it cleaned out and hidden.
Yea it’s cuz he’s renting... landlord can do what they want for the most part as long as they give “notice”. Stupid af. But yea the u-haul isn’t a bad idea it would be easier if you just had someone who could wacth it for a few days for you that you trusted.
Yeah if for some reason they do find out I’ll just trash everything immediately and hope for the best.
Do you have access to a giant picture you could remove door knob and hang it over the door Or a giant flag the size of the door , staple it up all the way so no one can see the door.
Or are they counting closets too, also if there is access to the attic though the ceiling of the closet they may want to get up there Just a thought
