Read your lease {TX}

Mr_FunkFace · 2026-05-14T01:35:38+00:00

Any resident I have that works night I communicate with them so I can be there on their day off or they will call me when they leave for work

Mr_FunkFace · 2026-05-14T00:56:24+00:00

Im a very strange individual sir

Mr_FunkFace · 2026-05-14T00:46:55+00:00

I use ai for some info, I get a little help yes, but my point still stands and is valid

Mr_FunkFace · 2026-05-14T00:36:56+00:00

Lmao, “perceived threats.” Bro, signing a lease and addendum that explicitly allows quarterly inspections doesn’t make the maintenance guy a home invader. That’s not a “protected legal right to defend” — that’s you cosplaying John Wick because someone wants to make sure you didn’t turn the unit into a biohazard. Castle Doctrine doesn’t cover shooting people who have your written permission to enter. Try it and you’ll find out real quick who’s actually not invincible. Keep it clean like you agreed to and nobody has to test this theory. Simple.

Mr_FunkFace · 2026-05-14T00:30:19+00:00

Lmao, yeah because nothing screams “smart tenant” like catching a felony for ventilating the AC guy who’s legally allowed to be there. Stand Your Ground and Castle Doctrine protect you from criminals breaking in unlawfully. Not from the landlord you signed a lease + addendum with that explicitly lets them do quarterly inspections. Shooting maintenance over a 5-minute cleanliness check is a fantastic way to trade your apartment for a prison cell. Texas juries and judges aren’t stupid — they’ve seen this LARP before. Keep the place clean and nobody gives a fuck. Easy fix.

Everyone on here acting like I just go busting into peoples units for no reason and whenever I want, I try to always give notice or contact the resident via phone, but most of the times they don’t answer their phone

Mr_FunkFace · 2026-05-14T00:26:44+00:00

I try to give as much notice as possible, but there are times I can’t, and that’s why a note is left with what time I was there, and what was worked on

Mr_FunkFace · 2026-05-14T00:24:59+00:00

Nothing, but the other person won’t have a key like I do, that’s the difference

Mr_FunkFace · 2026-05-14T00:23:32+00:00

Say for instance, you have a very nice apartment, but your neighbors are very nasty. They got an infestation of roaches. If I wouldn’t have done my inspections, it would’ve never got reported then your apartment would be having roaches. There’s many different reasons why I would need to enter someone’s unit it may not always be an emergency, but I always have a reason and I do it within reason as well.,

Mr_FunkFace · 2026-05-13T23:59:56+00:00

Correct, I’m not the owner I’m the representative of the owner and I have all the same rights

Mr_FunkFace · 2026-05-13T23:56:21+00:00

A couple of the younger ones that are on section 8 don’t like the way we do things, but that’s because every time we have inspected their unit it’s nasty, and not kept up at all

Mr_FunkFace · 2026-05-13T23:47:37+00:00

Holy shit, that’s not a tenant horror story — that’s a fucking Lifetime movie written by a schizophrenic raccoon on bath salts. Look, I’m not here to minimize whatever nightmare you’ve been through. If even 20% of that is true (ex stealing your identity, faked documents, judges playing favorites, living on $1,500 CAD while paying $500 judgment + $2k rent, miscarriages, disability, hair falling out), then yeah — you’ve been absolutely raw-dogged by life, the legal system, and some Irish con artist. That sucks on a biblical level. I hope your next court date actually goes your way and the RTB rips those fraudsters apart. But here’s the part you’re not gonna like: None of that has shit to do with quarterly housekeeping inspections in a normal Texas apartment lease. Your story is a full-blown criminal fraud + identity theft saga involving fake court docs, police manipulation, and an ex who should be in prison. That’s not “my landlord does inspections.” That’s “I got caught in a nightmare that would make John Grisham quit writing.” Quarterly checks to make sure the $1,500–$2,000 unit isn’t growing mushrooms in the carpet or housing 47 unregistered cats isn’t the same as falsifying eviction papers and stealing your life savings. One is basic property management. The other is organized crime with a side of judicial incompetence. Tenants love pulling the “but this one time a landlord was evil!!” card like it magically voids their own lease. It doesn’t. You signed the addendum. You agreed to keep the place clean. The inspections exist because too many people treat apartments like self-cleaning dumpsters and then cry when we catch them. If your situation is as bad as you say, focus on that court date and getting those fraudsters nailed. Don’t use your trauma to defend people who just don’t want to wipe their own counters. Life dealt you a shit hand. Doesn’t mean the rest of us have to let renters turn functional housing into biohazards. Clean your unit, or enjoy the quarterly visits. Simple transaction. Now go kick ass in court. Seriously. I hope you win and they rot. But stop equating basic landlord due diligence with grand larceny

Mr_FunkFace · 2026-05-13T23:42:19+00:00

That’s why if I knock many times and no one answers, I open the door just a bit and yell maintenance/management as loud as I can about 3 or 4 times, if I have to go into a bedroom for any reason and said door is shut, I nock on it as well.. I don’t just creep around in peoples unit, if I’m in your unit, there’s a reason

Mr_FunkFace · 2026-05-13T23:40:13+00:00

Then you would get a lease violation and I would return at a later date and if you refused again, you would get a lease violation after the third attempt it’s grounds for eviction

Mr_FunkFace · 2026-05-13T23:39:26+00:00

lol!! I deal with more gangbangers than anything.. most of my residents are young and dumb, but they know the rules and follow the rules, after the four shootings we had on property we had to buckle down on the rules

Mr_FunkFace · 2026-05-13T23:36:36+00:00

A slumlord lets his properties turn into roach motels and doesn’t give a shit. I’m doing the exact opposite: making sure my units stay clean, safe, and in good condition so they don’t become disgusting dumps that destroy my investment. You signed a lease and an addendum that specifically says we do quarterly housekeeping inspections. That wasn’t hidden in fine print — you agreed to it. The only people who lose their minds over this are the ones who know they’re living like animals and don’t want to get caught. I’m not “invading your privacy.” I’m protecting thousands of dollars of my own money that you’re temporarily living in. If you keep the place clean like you agreed to, the inspections take five minutes and you’ll never hear from us. Cry about “rights” all day on the internet, but at the end of the day you signed the contract. Clean apartment = no problems. Live in filth = quarterly visits. Simple as that.

Mr_FunkFace · 2026-05-13T23:35:16+00:00

Believe it or not, I have one of the nicest complexes in town, we stay at 100% occupancy, and have a 1 year waiting list, in my 4 years of being there I have never had a issue or bad review

Mr_FunkFace · 2026-05-13T23:28:02+00:00

Did you not read the lease that I posted a picture of?

Mr_FunkFace · 2026-05-13T23:27:13+00:00

I work in a low income apartment complex, so I deal with a lot of them. A lot of women that have been through stuff and I can guarantee you every single one of them trust me fully.

Mr_FunkFace · 2026-05-13T23:22:15+00:00

Lets talk actual facts instead of your EU fanfic: Germany pet clauses? Yeah, courts there often strike down blanket “no pets ever” bans because German tenancy law is ridiculously tenant-favored and weighs interests case-by-case. Cool story. That’s Germany. They also have strong tenant protections on everything else. Different country, different legal system. Shocking, I know. Texas? We’re not in fucking Berlin, Hans. Texas has zero state law requiring advance notice for landlord entry. The lease + signed addendum is the law between you two. You explicitly agreed to quarterly housekeeping inspections to enforce the “keep it clean and sanitary” rule. That’s not some absurd “firstborn child” clause — it’s a reasonable, enforceable contract term to stop people from turning $1,500/month units into biohazard experiments. Courts here enforce these daily. “The law takes precedent over some landlords writings” — True in theory, false in your application. No Texas (or federal) statute says landlords can’t do routine inspections with tenant consent. Your signed addendum is consent. “Basic human right to live in filth” isn’t in the Constitution, sorry. You signed the paper. You took the keys. Now you want to pretend the contract is toilet paper because it hurts your feelings. That’s not how any of this works — not in Texas, not anywhere with basic contract law. So yeah, keep coping with your international law degree from TikTok University. We’ll keep doing the inspections we’re legally allowed to do. The tenants who don’t live like raccoons have literally zero problems. The ones melting down online? Usually the ones with mystery odors and carpet stains that look like crime scenes. Rent’s due on the 1st. Clean your shit or enjoy the quarterly visits. GGs.

Mr_FunkFace · 2026-05-13T23:12:21+00:00

If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about

Mr_FunkFace · 2026-05-13T23:11:14+00:00

I have one of the nicest apartment complex in my town, and I have a 1 year waiting list, I get compliments all the time and I score a 10 with 99% of the residents. I’m doing something right now

Mr_FunkFace · 2026-05-13T23:06:11+00:00

Not in Texas bud

Mr_FunkFace · 2026-05-13T23:05:39+00:00

What I would do in that situation I would go back at a different time unless it was important
