    AstronautNatural49 OP. 1d Cant edit my post so hijacking this to give some more context; I complained about the built in freezer being broken and was told we would get the fridge replaced at some point as it was not an emergency, maybe one-two months ago. Then I get a text message at work being asked if I could remove my food at x time, which was just 1,5 hours away, and replied that I couldnt as I was not home until later. The fridge was replaced and the food was left on the counter like that

    glypo 1d ● Really depends on the country and the rental agreement. In England and Wales I believe the statutory minimum is 24 hours of written notice (email, SMS, etc. count) - but some rental agreements may push the notice period to a much fairer week or so. Every country is quite different though, so it really depends on where OP lives.

    Ok-Piccolo1738 • 1d Yeah no, this is a problem, they can't enter your home without permission. I would be making a HUGE deal out of this. Unless of course you told them they could while you were gone. Then in that case i guess it is pretty annoying they didn't put your back. She doesn't care! It's not her food! That's people for you nowadays.
