'The police were also automatically called...': Landlord gets a surprise when they can't disable their tenant's alarm after turning up unannounced and uninvited

One of the core principles of renting a house is that it might be your landlord's house… but you're paying for it to be your home. This is something that gets missed, soaring right over their heads… and smacking into the poorly painted white wall behind them.

Of course, there are laws in many (many) places regarding the rights that your landlord has to enter their property, and the rights that you have to privacy. Many jurisdictions will require the landlord, or property manager, to give a certain amount of written notice to their tenants, rather than "Kramer-ing" their way into their tenants' homes any time they'd like uninvited. Landlords will usually turn to suspicion when their tenants object to a late notice, or no notice, entry. Deciding that it must be because their tenants are doing something wrong or up to some sort of illegal activity. Often the reason is simpler and that we just want to be left the heck alone.

Of course, if your landlord keeps turning up uninvited, you're entitled to legal action. You're also more than welcome to do something along the lines of what this frustrated tenant did.
