Landlord entering property-
Hello-
I am leasing a home from an individual in Texas and I am having issues. Both the landlord and his wife keep entering our property. We have asked them on several occasions not to enter without contacting us; this is what is required in the lease unless it is an emergency. Usually they are just entering an unattached garage, because they still have landscaping "stuff" to do.
Recently we came home from vacation and found that they had been in both the attached and the unattached garage.
The only way into the attached garage is through the house.
They have never left any notice of entry, which is required in the lease.
At this point I am just looking for a way to get out of the lease because we have found another place.
In looking at the lease there are a couple of things that I noticed.
They are not following the “when we may enter” paragraph. They have entered on six different occasions and have not requested entry ever and they have never left notice of entry as required in the lease.
The lease is written in both my wife and my name, but was never signed by my wife.
The lease has a spot on every page for resident and representative initials. He did not initial any page, but he did sign the last page.
Is any of this sufficient cause for me to break the lease?
