What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MO
I returned home this evening to a letter on my door stating that my door will be painted on Monday. Additionally, it stats states that the door will need to be left "cracked for several hours for it to properly dry." I don't have a problem with them entering my apartment and painting the doors, but I do have a problem with my door being left unlocked and open, especially if they are putting these same letters on other units around the complex, tipping people off that doors will be unlocked. Does the landlord have the right to leave my door unlocked and opened unsupervised without my permission?
Additionally, are weekends and the day of included in the 24 hour notice? I was off work all day. I left just before 4 to run some errands. At that time the letter had not yet been placed on my door. The office closes at 5. I park on the side of the office, so I have a feeling they saw me leave and then decided to place the letter on my door at that point. When I got back, it was around 7:30. I tried calling, but I got the messaging service. I did leave a message, but the office isn't open on weekends. Since I wasn't notified earlier in the day, I now don't have adequate time to ask off work, if this is acceptable for them to do. How should I approach this? Am I just out of luck?
