I am supposed to be moving out of the current apartment I am in and moving into another apartment (same landlord) and I have already signed the lease. The other apartment still is not ready for me to move in and I should be moving into it in a few days.
My landlord has been wanting to show the current apartment I am in, and around Friday he asked me if me and my roommate would be okay with him showing it to someone on Monday. We said okay, just give us a call so we can be there. We talked to him several times through voice mails back and forth and at least a couple times I have said, "just give us a call on Monday and let us know when you will be coming over." This is partly because we have a dog the landlord does not know about.
Anyway, today I am at work and I get a call around 11:30 a.m. with a message that says, "I was wondering if I would be able to show the apartment today around 1:30. Let me know" or something like that. I never call back because I am at work and I figure if I don't call, he won't show it because I am clearly not saying that it is okay.
So I head home today and I run into the landlord coming out of my apartment with the person they were showing it to and he said something along the lines of, "I met your dog. I don't think he likes me very much", sort of jokingly and then told me about when I would be able to pick up keys for my other apartment I am moving to.
I feel somewhat violated over what happened because I feel as if I have no privacy. If I am paying for someone to allow me to live somewhere, shouldn't they at least be granting me the privacy that I am paying for? I am also worrying that me having a dog is going to come up even though when I ran into him I said it was my mother's dog.
Any suggestions? How do you even prove something like this? My roommate was still at work even though I contacted her right away to let her know what just happened. Also, there are the calls on my phone that they called but I didn't answer or ever call back.
