i have a question concerning what a landlord can and cannot do. does he legally have the right to enter the premises without notice of actually entering my rental space and throw away any of my belongings even if he thought it was trash. fyi it was a single rollerblade mixed with some random stuff, most could have been tossed. my garage also recently semi flooded and leaves had blown in through a small hole in the frame of the garage door. this small hole is also an entrance for rats which i've had a problem with since i moved in.i wrote him a very polite and professional letter explaining the situation and included the same model printed off the internet and told him i was deducting it from my rent. now he's flipping pissed, said there was rat poop in it and is demanding that i send the rest of the money i held for compensation. i don't think there was rat poop in my rollerblade but who knows, either way i feel it was my decision weather it was still useable and this could just be his excuse for no taking the blame for something that he shouldn't have done i'm probably going down to my city government offices in the morning but this is pissing me off and would like some input/advice. i would like my security deposit back, i'm also no longer in a lease but was supposed to send back a signed one and would have until this event, leaving me month to month since January. i have live here for about a year and a half.
