Imagine coming out of the shower and there's a dude standing in your hallway!

Well, that's what happened to me this afternoon. Turns out the landlord is switching insurance companies and he brought the agent to examine the townhouse. Being in the shower, I didn't hear him ring the bell... :frown:

i think they're required to notify at least 24 hours in advance and give you a 1 hour window. Well, i think that's California law.

just ask him to tell you in advance next time.

you could've probably killed him and got away with it, if you weren't notified beforehand

I think they are, but I have a pretty good relationship with my landlord, he's done several nice things for me (not that, you pervs), so I'm not going to make a big deal out of this.

I live in a fairly big town house. The shower is on the 3rd floor, the door is on the first, the guy was on the staircase on the second floor. They (him and landlord) rang the bell but I dind't hear it in the shower.
