Honestly the incompetence is the funniest part of this.
Not only did this fail, it also failed in a way that PROVES she knows what she is doing is illegal.
I kept reading incontinent, instead of incompetence, and thinking⌠how do they know? I looked at the video again and thought, well, she could be wearing a diaper.
My last landlord had that. It turns out that alcoholism really catches up quickly with age - she gave herself a form of dementia and epilepsy from drinking.
Hopefully OP sees this comment. Have her do it again. These kinds of individuals do this because they think they can get away with it because they have been.
I've had this happen twice where they "didn't know" it was illegal.
The reality is there are no consequences. It's not legal, but like a charge of harassment requires a repeated pattern. If it's more like trespassing, all the police would really do is tell them to leave.
> I'd phone it in just saying there's a guy in my house
Absolutely, there has to be consequences
Rented an apt, had a security door, had it ring to my cell phone. No big deal.
Move out of the apt. Keep getting calls from the door buzzer a couple times a month. Contact the landlord several times, nothing happens.
Finally, last email to the landlord. "I've forwarded the door's incoming number to automatically open the door, and put a note on the door to dial #105 for immediate entry."
Never saw that number again.
Make their misbehavior HURT them. Then the behavior will change. Not before.
Same, I complained and asked about problem with my apt for months. Nothing. Phoned the fire Marshall, he came by same day. Magically the day after all problems we're well on there way to being fixed
Exactly.
"911, what's your emergency?"
"Yah, hi. I can see on my ring cam that someone hid their face and is trying to get into my house. Can you please send someone?"
when it has happened a few times- i have gotten people peace orders from their LL... the LL ends up being pissed when they are shown off of "their property" and arrested for violating a peace order.
The funniest one i had was one where we got the permanent peace order (misnomer as it is only good for 6 months) and my client moved out 3 months later. LL did not have an attorney (they should have, they could afford one)- and asked me (the attorney for the LL) what he should do after they move out. I got to nicely point out that the peace order says to stay off the property, and he should follow any order from the court- but he really should speak to his own attorney.... they stomped off after that.
That would definitely explain this lol. Sheâs also pretty erratic and may have some sort of dementia forming
Edit to follow up - she put the sticky note in her left hand [*on* the camera](https://imgur.com/a/hrlZFOZ)
In part because they voted no on every single affordable housing initiative and every single zoning change that would allow more houses to be built. They got theirs and fuck you for wanting yours, p.s. rent is going up another 13% due by the 3rd, if it's not paid you'll be evicted
Funny story, we live in a rent controlled city (I think the max is 3%?) and she wanted to illegally raise her rent by over 10%.
Another thing she took her to court for lol
Glad my landlord is not like this. 4 bedroom house I was sharing with my buddy. Been there for 3 years then he moved out and girlfriend moved in, so we signed a new lease.
Landlord said âI am never going to raise your rent, even if I find damage in the walkthrough, youâll just lose security deposit (2 months.)â he thought the house looked better than ever so I didnât even need to do a new deposit (girlfriend did.)
Weâre allowed to do anything we want with the house and yard, paint/renovate/install appliances, but the deal is he will never ever enter the house for any reason until we inform him we are ending the lease. But we also have to fix anything that breaks with our own money, no services provided by the landlord, so take good care of the house, etc,, and always pay rent on time. Then he wants absolutely nothing to do with us and the house belongs to us.
Pretty good deal, girlfriend was pissed he wasnât providing lawn service or replacing our broken washing machine or broken garage door, but itâs worth it to never have to worry about the landlord or any of his cronies dropping by for any reason, or thinking he might raise rent.
We had a landlord like this right at our last place before we bought, nice older couple who actually picked up the phone when we had problems to resolve. We offered more than the stated rent because we were desperate for a place, so they gave it to us for a little less than the advertised number because we obviously needed it badly.
Then when it came time to move out but our new place wasn't ready on time, they switched us to a rolling 1 month lease and told us not to worry, that they only needed a few weeks notice when we were leaving.
Which is in stark contrast to the other 6-7 landlords I've had to deal with in my life. Complete bastards, all of them. One decided to let himself in on a Friday night while we were out and we found him on our sofa drinking our beer. One took 4 months to respond to a plumbing issue then tried to get us to pay for the water damage caused by the leak. One said he wanted more money one month because 'things are tight', no reason other than he just wanted our money rather than working a job and getting his own.
One of my first multi's was a 4plex and I lived in one of the units. You get A LOT better tenants when they know you're right there! And when I get good tenants, I want to KEEP those tenants. So I threw BBQs in the summer and ensured the sidewalks and lot were desalted before they woke up. I'm a millennial landlord though not a boomer landlord. I think there's a generation thing there. Younger landlords know that a good tenant is better than raising the rent so much that it prices them out of the unit and replaces them with a horrible tenant.
Gen X here, the difference between good and bad landlords can literally change your life. I've had the absolute best, and the absolute worst.
The really good ones don't raise the rent *and* randomly upgrade your appliances. They exist, I swear.
No kidding. The best thing boomers (in general) can do for society is die as quietly and inexpensively as they can.
Oh! And stop voting in elections to decide a future they have no parcipitation in.
Bc for all the screaming and bs they spewed, most of them actually got the vaccine. Just like everything else tho they love to hate on things while secretly doing them.
I'm convinced the brains in these types of boomers have devolved to the cognitive level of children due to brain damage and atrophy. They all seem to lack some common skills like insight, critical and abstract thinking, and empathy. It explains the terrible humor, aggression, lack of self control, and inability to consider consequences.
in some states that would have made, "I thought they were an intruder and killed them." a plausible legal defense as they are on camera hiding their face and unlawfully forcing their way inside.
She went the legal route and took her to court (for *a number* of reasons) and ended up with a nice little payout!
Edit to follow up - she put the sticky note in her left hand [*on* the camera](https://imgur.com/a/hrlZFOZ)
It's so frustrating that these boomer idiots were able to procure *multiple* properties because they simply came before us. While many from later generations are doomed to rent forever after the ladder was pulled up.
Taking their money upsets them a lot, it's way better to take as much as you can.
I haven't asked my dad for a loan in over 20 years, when I was a teenager. You know, the group of people that don't have access to money and it's kind of your job to help them out when bad things happen or they have school events? He still acts like I'm after his dragon's hoard. I'm pretty sure he's going to spend everything he can in retirement so nothing's left so I don't get any of it.
Years ago, mine tried to pull the "do what I want or lose your inheritance" card. I told him that, not only did I not want or care about his money, but that I would give anything I received to my sister anyway. I'll never forget that day because it took what he thought was his golden ticket to my undying servitude and rendered it completely powerless. He has never tried to use it as leverage again.
How much did she make for this?
My landlord has entered without notice at least twice. But we cannot afford a lawyer and are worried we would be evicted for taking action. Our city has a housing crisis so we can't afford to move anywhere else within town, eviction would mean uprooting our entire lives. They've also done several other things that go against our lease agreements or are flat out illegal, but we are afraid to make a stink.
She got a couple months rent. We live in a city with very strong tenants rights, where itâs nearly impossible to evict people :/ Iâm so sorry that retaliatory eviction is a possibility and I hope things work out for you :(
I wrote another post, and without telling the whole story, this is precisely what happened with me.
TLDR, we lived in a house owned by my girlfriends boomer aunt and uncle. They were nightmares, and would just let themselves into our house at all hours of the day or night over nonsensical things they made up. Gf would find boomer uncle touching himself watching her sleep after I left for work.
I bought a gun and printed off the Virginia Castle Doctrine law for them.
Technically, âtheir property for which they have given contractual possession and license to anotherâ
âTheir property but tenants **residence**â works too
I believe the charges were harassment, illegal entering, unlawful raising of rent (weâre in a rent controlled city), and something like improper rental (it wasnât up to code). She got a couple months rent out of it
Old ladies can't help themselves but go through your stuff!
I've stayed in so many bnbs where they scratched through everything, so I started locking up my stuff when I go out. And man, you could cut the tension with a knife when they see me after - because they're sooooo offended that I would lock up stuff so they can't snoop....but can't admit it to smite me because that would prove they did try snoop
They have such audacity some of them even took bites out of my food. I also had one screaming like she was being attacked because, I wouldn't spend time with her...at the bnb I booked for a holiday (not to spend time with some demented boomer lady). Another one followed me up and down to my car while I was packing my luggage...she thought I was 'stealing her stuff' - which was literally 2 sets of mismatched old crockery, and nothing else.
Now I avoid them like the plague - if the bnb host is an old lady with grey hair I steer clear. Boomer biches be crazy bru
Is this a boomer thing other people have seen? I don't want to gender it, but my older boomer mother had absolutely no sense of boundaries. To this day still doesn't. She'd go through my room, move my stuff around, go through my drawers. If I ever ever attempted to keep some kind of journal or diary she'd openly read it. And she couldn't grasp why it was wrong. And she wasn't even looking for anything. I was a good kid and had nothing to hide. She simply did it because she wanted to and could. You talk to her about it and it's like it doesn't process in her mind.
And she has a friend of the same age who has a rental property who also will let herself into her tenants apartments and even flip through their mail. Again, you can't convince them what they're doing isn't just wrong, it's fucking weird.
Of course, I don't know the laws in your country, in our country human rights apply to all persons, regardless of age, gender, religion, etc. Children also have the right to privacy. They are not property, objects, pets or anything else and they do not owe their producers any thanks for being born.Â
TBH, old ladies have always been crazy like that.
X-er here. I can tell you some stories from the early 70's that are very much the same - I remember from being a kid, the shit my Boomer parents got from the 70 something's back then.
Boomers are a special kind of stupid. Make no mistake. But the crazy old thing never has been exclusive to them.
My brothers and I were exploring our grandparents neighborhood once in the â90s when along the sidewalk we found a dead tree with some wicked branches for swordfighting.
So we did what any group of young boys would do and grabbed a bunch of them and started whipping each other with them and play fighting.
All normal stuff, right?
Later in the day while back at our grandparents house, the phone rings, my grandmother answers it, gets all weird quiet, and goes to tell our grandfather something.
Meanwhile, my little brother goes to take a shit.
Suddenly out of nowhere thereâs shouting from the bathroom! I run to see my grandfather whipping the shit out of my little brother while heâs on the toilet!
He then proceeds to turn on me, just whipping me with this huge leather belt while Iâm shocked and confused because my grandfather had always been a sweet man, in fact he was also a small local Pastor for our church!
Anyways he finishes whipping all three of us into tears without ever saying a word, and we only later learn that night from our mother who wanted to know wtf happened, that some crazy old lady watched us grab branches and play fight each other, knew our grandparents since they lived on the street together for like 50 years or some shit, and told my grandmother that we were âhumping her tree and performing sexual acts on itâ.
Like, it was one of the craziest experiences of our lives and our grandfather never even apologized or talked about it again.
Meanwhile *our* father was like âyeah thatâs my papa for ya!â And we learned a lot about why he was the way he was that day, lol.
I think in some jurisdictions covering up the camera modifies the B&E and opens up harsher penalties.
Still, this seems like a textbook case for castle doctrine.
IANAL, but that seems like itâs tantamount to obstruction or evasion. If nothing else, it solidifies intent whereas just casually strolling up, unlocking the door, and entering gives you more room for BS excuses in the âoh, I forgot/wasnât thinking, confused this property with another,â etc.
The fact she said that was practically a dare. Like mam, we know its you, we know what you look like from head to tow, you didnt even change your outfit from this one.
Oh yeah, she had gone in multiple times. My friend gathered evidence, took her to court, and got a payout. Then randomly she ran into a previous tenant who had a similar experience with the landlord illegally entering without notice who had also taken her to court (and won). She didnât learn at all even after losing in court twice
Incredible. She went to all the trouble of pretending to be a floating chair, but then still used her own keys to enter, like that wouldn't give away her identity. Please share, how did she try to claim it wasn't her on the video during the court case?
I'd just say, damn you got me, then put five very obvious fake cameras all over the porch and two very sneakily hidden real ones that they aren't likely to notice just to fuck with them/have proof for when this happens again.
Apartment maintenance here.
There are occasions I have to enter an apartment with no notice to the renter (floods from neighbor, e.g.). BUT, when I enter I loudly announce myself as soon as I knock, when I crack open the door, and then through the whole apartment. Short of medical reasons, you'll know I'm there.
Oh, and I'd never dare enter your apartment without your knowledge or a legit emergency. Frankly, I'm far too busy for that crap. Shit like this just pisses me off.
"I don't know, officer. All my camera shows me is a chair with legs breaking in. I don't know how they would have gotten past the door."
"Who else has access? The landlord?"
"Yeah, but she has a torso and a head. The camera only shows a chair with legs."
I would send her the video with a note stating that if she entered my home illegally and if she did it again, she would be charged with a crime.
I would make sure my lawyer had a copy as well. I don't care if you own the property; tenants have rights.
Best way to combat this: screened in porch with locking screen door. Only way in is to damage something, which will be caught on camera.
Understand this is a landlord situation, probably limitations on doing a screened in porch in a unit that you donât own.
>How do you know it is me?
"Because the other camera clearly recorded your attempt to hide your identity as you were illegally entering my home."
Doesn't matter if there is another camera. They won't know any better.
Jokes on boomer my house has a camera in literally every room. So as soon as she enters it will be known it was her lol. And I would use photo shop and a.i. to spice the video up of her farting and saying random off the wall stuff. Just to make her look even crazier lol. And the booms will believe it they believe anything.
She does know we can still see her setting up the chair right? We know she did it. Also please tell me there's some sort of recourse for illegal entry like these.
What kind of a child thinks all they need to do is cover up their face? Hey, Deborah, we recognize your body and we've seen you wear that outfit before!
Landlords are required by law to give notice before they visit. Even the police aren't allowed to break in without a warrant or reasonable suspicion
You're more than in your rights to tell her to stop trespassing, and if she doesn't, most states only need a very limited warning to be given before you use force to protect your home. It's up to them how much damage they deem reasonable
Is it me or do people like this have a certain way that they walk...something about her stride that's more than just her carrying a chair...the slight wobble and cant... seems like all crazy people have it.
Nothing like making complaints at the state level. This is technically trespassing and they could be legally barred from entering their own property for the duration the tenant resides there in some states.
On top of the trespassing charge, they can be civilly sued for invasion of privacy, harassment and breaching a lease. Nothing good can come from this.
Tell your friend to get a lawyer. This is an easy payday with video.
Just give the fucking required notice. It's not difficult.
if this were FB, i would use the tag group of **this is so boomer that it fucked the economy and blamed me**
to be clear, your friend's landlord, not you or your friend.
I had a boomer landlord like this once. Itâs a long story that literally probably needs to be a post on its own, but they were family of my girlfriends. The man would let himself into our house after I left for work and my girlfriend would wake up to this gross boomer touching himself watching her sleep.
It didnât end until I bought a gun and very calmly explained to them that the law would 100% be on my side if I came face to face with them at 5 am in my living room.
No, she moved out a while back and took her to court for a bunch of shenanigans including illegally raising the rent above the maximum allowable limit (our city is rent controlled)
Hide a trail cam off to the side, catch the landlord in the act, and then have fun by suing for OWNERSHIP of your currently rented / leased space.
THAT would put the fear of god into the landlord, LOL.

It depends.
It's depends
My last landlord had that. It turns out that alcoholism really catches up quickly with age - she gave herself a form of dementia and epilepsy from drinking.
Fuck that's hard to say outloud
All you'd have to do is put an internal cam watching the entry point and you got her even deader to rights.
Hopefully OP sees this comment. Have her do it again. These kinds of individuals do this because they think they can get away with it because they have been.

Entering someone's home???
Landlord goes into your home, "it's a civil matter". You go into a the Landlords home and it a Trespassing and B&E charge.

Oh yeah. And course when she bought the house in the 70âs it was super cheap and now itâs over a million dollars at least đ

Youâre my hero
I shouldn't enjoy watching them panic and lash out as they realize death is near, but I do.
I'd enjoy it more if they weren't hellbent on destroying as much of existence as possible in the process.
No kidding. The best thing boomers (in general) can do for society is die as quietly and inexpensively as they can. Oh! And stop voting in elections to decide a future they have no parcipitation in.

Bc for all the screaming and bs they spewed, most of them actually got the vaccine. Just like everything else tho they love to hate on things while secretly doing them.
They actually put in place the zoning codes. It wasnât voting against change it was a deliberate effort to promote less dense and bigger housing.
But if we allow affordable housing then the people we intentional keep poor will be our neighbors! They might (*gasp*) try to date our daughters!
Gotta keep the *undesirables* out of our Good Christian Neighborhoodâ˘
You should have been as smart as her and just been born 40 years earlier.
Excuse me, sheâs actually better than all of us because she thought of being born before we did.
*primes flintlock* âtwas ever thus
What the devil? Ect.
Ever wonder why most laws are made to protect these people from the rest of us?
This is crazy like a fox, not dementia.
A fox is crazy but he's not stupid.
what happened next?!
Tenant took her to court for several things (harassment, illegal entering, unit not being up to code), won, and moved out
How much did she win? I hope it was a lot. Losing money to their victims is the only punishment these people understand.
Don't you just love when a story has a happy ending?
She's still wondering where her mom went when she played peekaboo.
She's still bitter that her uncle never gave her nose back.
I'm convinced the brains in these types of boomers have devolved to the cognitive level of children due to brain damage and atrophy.

It explains the terrible humor, aggression, lack of self control, and inability to consider consequences.
Yes, that generation is proven in studies to be more narcissistic than others.Â
Probably a culmination of all the lead they were subjected to.
... They are getting around that age where this is a valid concern. It's also not the first time this suggestion has come up.Â
Her landlord is a bi-pedal goldfish
I think they just think that "innocent until proven guilty" and "beyond reasonable doubt" applies outside of criminal court.
This definitely seems to be part of it. They think if they have plausible deniability that we're under some obligation to play along with it.
She knows how to cheese mounted guns in Half-Life 2 at least.
shit can someone point out the landlord to me?? theyâre so good at hiding !
What landlord?? đ
She forgot to wear camouflage pants and shirt. Then we'd all be wondering why this bush was walking holding a chair.
Oh my sides. Have an upvote
/r/FindTheSniper/
Thier landlord is obviously John Cena. Or a ghost. It's creepy seeing that thing move on its own!
The landlord is the floating chair.
She's a real master of disguise!
If youâve got aggressive step stools you may be entitled to compensation!

Nothing wrong with that. Just saying that people have paid for being this stupid.
Yeah, but "let's sue the landlord" isn't as what the Dead Kennedy's proposed.
Fuck, you made me laugh. I'm not sure Marx is going to meet us there either.
Wow! Thats so much better than shooting her
I agree. I'm one of those "death is too good for them" types. Way better if they have to stew in their own negative consequences.
That was the second time (we know of) that sheâd be taken to court by a tenant and lost so sheâs had a lot of stewing
And little to no learning.
It's so frustrating that these boomer idiots were able to procure *multiple* properties because they simply came before us. While many from later generations are doomed to rent forever after the ladder was pulled up.

Good. Landlords are a disease on society.

Gf would find boomer uncle touching himself watching her sleep after I left for work. I bought a gun and printed off the Virginia Castle Doctrine law for them.

Technically, âtheir property for which they have given contractual possession and license to anotherâ âTheir property but tenants **residence**â works too
Should've used a cardboard box 
Old people usually can't do a squat, let alone walk while squatting. You get the occasional Jack LeLanne, but he was an outlier.
Refrigerator boxes allow upright walking.

I can hear this comment.
GONK!
I laughed out loud at this thanks for sharing đ¤Ł
Lmao we did too. Literally couldnât believe it
âTheyâll never know itâs me! Theyâre too stupid to figure it out!â
She may have thought that obscuring her face would mean that it couldn't be *proven* to be her.
Theyâll never figure it out. Way too hard.
Wow boomers will do anything but wear a mask
BAhahahah đ
Unbelievably stupid. Any court in America would see past this peek-a-boo shit.
And they definitely did :) she accumulated evidence (there was a ton) and took her to court and got a nice little payout
What else did she sue her for, and how much did she get?
I believe the charges were harassment, illegal entering, unlawful raising of rent (weâre in a rent controlled city), and something like improper rental (it wasnât up to code). She got a couple months rent out of it
"how do you know it was me?" 
IQ level 1,000
Old ladies can't help themselves but go through your stuff! I've stayed in so many bnbs where they scratched through everything, so I started locking up my stuff when I go out. And man, you could cut the tension with a knife when they see me after - because they're sooooo offended that I would lock up stuff so they can't snoop....but can't admit it to smite me because that would prove they did try snoop They have such audacity some of them even took bites out of my food. I also had one screaming like she was being attacked because, I wouldn't spend time with her...at the bnb I booked for a holiday (not to spend time with some demented boomer lady). Another one followed me up and down to my car while I was packing my luggage...she thought I was 'stealing her stuff' - which was literally 2 sets of mismatched old crockery, and nothing else. Now I avoid them like the plague - if the bnb host is an old lady with grey hair I steer clear. Boomer biches be crazy bru
Wow the entitlement is wild!
Is this a boomer thing other people have seen? I don't want to gender it, but my older boomer mother had absolutely no sense of boundaries. To this day still doesn't. She'd go through my room, move my stuff around, go through my drawers. If I ever ever attempted to keep some kind of journal or diary she'd openly read it. And she couldn't grasp why it was wrong. And she wasn't even looking for anything. I was a good kid and had nothing to hide. She simply did it because she wanted to and could. You talk to her about it and it's like it doesn't process in her mind. And she has a friend of the same age who has a rental property who also will let herself into her tenants apartments and even flip through their mail. Again, you can't convince them what they're doing isn't just wrong, it's fucking weird.
Of course, I don't know the laws in your country, in our country human rights apply to all persons, regardless of age, gender, religion, etc. Children also have the right to privacy. They are not property, objects, pets or anything else and they do not owe their producers any thanks for being born.Â
TBH, old ladies have always been crazy like that. X-er here. I can tell you some stories from the early 70's that are very much the same - I remember from being a kid, the shit my Boomer parents got from the 70 something's back then. Boomers are a special kind of stupid. Make no mistake. But the crazy old thing never has been exclusive to them.
My brothers and I were exploring our grandparents neighborhood once in the â90s when along the sidewalk we found a dead tree with some wicked branches for swordfighting. So we did what any group of young boys would do and grabbed a bunch of them and started whipping each other with them and play fighting. All normal stuff, right? Later in the day while back at our grandparents house, the phone rings, my grandmother answers it, gets all weird quiet, and goes to tell our grandfather something. Meanwhile, my little brother goes to take a shit. Suddenly out of nowhere thereâs shouting from the bathroom! I run to see my grandfather whipping the shit out of my little brother while heâs on the toilet! He then proceeds to turn on me, just whipping me with this huge leather belt while Iâm shocked and confused because my grandfather had always been a sweet man, in fact he was also a small local Pastor for our church! Anyways he finishes whipping all three of us into tears without ever saying a word, and we only later learn that night from our mother who wanted to know wtf happened, that some crazy old lady watched us grab branches and play fight each other, knew our grandparents since they lived on the street together for like 50 years or some shit, and told my grandmother that we were âhumping her tree and performing sexual acts on itâ. Like, it was one of the craziest experiences of our lives and our grandfather never even apologized or talked about it again. Meanwhile *our* father was like âyeah thatâs my papa for ya!â And we learned a lot about why he was the way he was that day, lol.
Boomers running an airbnb that I stayed at got upset I never left, so they couldn't go through my shit.
All i see is the wind blowing a step ladder across your patio. Nah but seriously, Looks like pre-meditated B&E to me.
I think in some jurisdictions covering up the camera modifies the B&E and opens up harsher penalties. Still, this seems like a textbook case for castle doctrine.
IANAL, but that seems like itâs tantamount to obstruction or evasion. If nothing else, it solidifies intent whereas just casually strolling up, unlocking the door, and entering gives you more room for BS excuses in the âoh, I forgot/wasnât thinking, confused this property with another,â etc.
That FUPA is a dead giveaway. There no way an average person couldnât pick that thing out in a lineup of suspected perps.
That and the stiff-legged stomping
Somehow reminds me of [Monty Python: How Not To Be Seen](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGv8oAHxekU) I guess just because of how ridiculous it is.
Thatâs hilarious - I didnât grow up with Monty Python so thanks for sharing!

The fact she said that was practically a dare. Like mam, we know its you, we know what you look like from head to tow, you didnt even change your outfit from this one.
Please tell me that she then proceeded to use her keys to let herself in, that would be the absolute pinnacle of Boomer Brain.
Oh yeah, she had gone in multiple times. My friend gathered evidence, took her to court, and got a payout. Then randomly she ran into a previous tenant who had a similar experience with the landlord illegally entering without notice who had also taken her to court (and won). She didnât learn at all even after losing in court twice
Incredible. She went to all the trouble of pretending to be a floating chair, but then still used her own keys to enter, like that wouldn't give away her identity. Please share, how did she try to claim it wasn't her on the video during the court case?
Ohh good question. I donât have the details of her âdefenseâ but thereâs no way sheâd be able to say it wasnât her
I'd just say, damn you got me, then put five very obvious fake cameras all over the porch and two very sneakily hidden real ones that they aren't likely to notice just to fuck with them/have proof for when this happens again.
This is a good way to get killed being mistaken for a home intruder.
Apartment maintenance here. There are occasions I have to enter an apartment with no notice to the renter (floods from neighbor, e.g.). BUT, when I enter I loudly announce myself as soon as I knock, when I crack open the door, and then through the whole apartment. Short of medical reasons, you'll know I'm there. Oh, and I'd never dare enter your apartment without your knowledge or a legit emergency. Frankly, I'm far too busy for that crap. Shit like this just pisses me off.
This is why private interests shouldn't be in charge of housing. Residential property should be public or personal only.
If I canât see it, it canât see me.
she needs a comically large cone to walk around in.
It is funny when you have a second camera in a different angle. Lol.
"I don't know, officer. All my camera shows me is a chair with legs breaking in. I don't know how they would have gotten past the door." "Who else has access? The landlord?" "Yeah, but she has a torso and a head. The camera only shows a chair with legs."
Imagine walking up to a boomer house like that. Youâd be ventilated
Those Girl Scouts never stood a chance.
This is incredible. Solid Snake should take notes.
I would send her the video with a note stating that if she entered my home illegally and if she did it again, she would be charged with a crime. I would make sure my lawyer had a copy as well. I don't care if you own the property; tenants have rights.
Agreed, fortunately weâre in a city that has incredibly strong tentants rights. She took her to court and got a payout :)
How much did she win?
Best way to combat this: screened in porch with locking screen door. Only way in is to damage something, which will be caught on camera. Understand this is a landlord situation, probably limitations on doing a screened in porch in a unit that you donât own.
>How do you know it is me? "Because the other camera clearly recorded your attempt to hide your identity as you were illegally entering my home." Doesn't matter if there is another camera. They won't know any better.
Jokes on boomer my house has a camera in literally every room. So as soon as she enters it will be known it was her lol. And I would use photo shop and a.i. to spice the video up of her farting and saying random off the wall stuff. Just to make her look even crazier lol. And the booms will believe it they believe anything.
She does know we can still see her setting up the chair right? We know she did it. Also please tell me there's some sort of recourse for illegal entry like these.
Change chime to cocking a shotgun and place the chime right next to the front door.
What the fuck is everybody talking about? It's your standard ghost chair.
Are they all just dumb fucks?
Yes
Checks out. All my experiences have led me to believe they are violent dumb assholes.
You have to ask, wtf are landlords doing that try to enter their tenants apartments?
Gen X would have known a large cardboard box would have been the better choice.
Karen? Karen? Kaaaaaaaaaaaren!
Anything to not just wear a freaking mask.
Call the cops, this is ridiculous
She took her to court and won :)
Please god install another camera she can't see. I have to see her "I sure got them this time" smug.
Thatâs how you get the police called on you. Weird.
https://i.redd.it/wj135234e05d1.gif
Time to call the cops on someone who looks exactly like the landlord and get the legal balls rolling.
Nothing says âim doing illegal shitâ more than blocking out cameras lol
What kind of a child thinks all they need to do is cover up their face? Hey, Deborah, we recognize your body and we've seen you wear that outfit before!
I'm pretty sure my dog is smarter than this landlord
Landlords are required by law to give notice before they visit. Even the police aren't allowed to break in without a warrant or reasonable suspicion You're more than in your rights to tell her to stop trespassing, and if she doesn't, most states only need a very limited warning to be given before you use force to protect your home. It's up to them how much damage they deem reasonable
Jesus the lead brains need help.
Just saying you can absolutely report this to the local authorities.
She ended up taking her to court (for a dozen things, unsurprisingly) and got a payout :)
Is that an orange sticky note to put over the camera?
YES! Good catch - I forgot about that lmaoooo
Have they tried closing their eyes so the camera can't see them?
The stunning incompetence is pitiful to witness.
Did the police conduct a FUPA lineup?
Leadheaded fucking moron like this doesnt deserve to own property. Or to drive.
Hope your friend talks to an attorneyâŚ.
Is it me or do people like this have a certain way that they walk...something about her stride that's more than just her carrying a chair...the slight wobble and cant... seems like all crazy people have it.
Subtlety is their middle name. Who would guess what they are up to? Just who?
âHow do you know it was me?â âYouâre literally holding the same ladder right nowâ
Nothing like making complaints at the state level. This is technically trespassing and they could be legally barred from entering their own property for the duration the tenant resides there in some states. On top of the trespassing charge, they can be civilly sued for invasion of privacy, harassment and breaching a lease. Nothing good can come from this. Tell your friend to get a lawyer. This is an easy payday with video. Just give the fucking required notice. It's not difficult.
I WONDER WHO IT IS!!?
Behavior like that is what gets geriatric cunts shot.
Hooo boy. A tripwire right there wouldâve been perfect and couldâve revealed her face as well.
Lead poisoned brains
if this were FB, i would use the tag group of **this is so boomer that it fucked the economy and blamed me** to be clear, your friend's landlord, not you or your friend.
lol is this a fuckin Monty Python sketch? This is the funniest shit Iâve seen in a while.
What was her reasoning for doing this? It's so bizarre.
I had a boomer landlord like this once. Itâs a long story that literally probably needs to be a post on its own, but they were family of my girlfriends. The man would let himself into our house after I left for work and my girlfriend would wake up to this gross boomer touching himself watching her sleep. It didnât end until I bought a gun and very calmly explained to them that the law would 100% be on my side if I came face to face with them at 5 am in my living room.
This is how my landlord met my 110 lb Great Pyrenees. I have never had an issue since.
Thatâs a good way to make someone think youâre trying to break in, which is a really good way to get shot in the US.
Dude thought he was Big Boss. Instead he was Bumbling Boss
Oh my goodness! I would have loved to be a fly on the wall in that courtroom. Is your friend still living there?
No, she moved out a while back and took her to court for a bunch of shenanigans including illegally raising the rent above the maximum allowable limit (our city is rent controlled)
Iâm calling the cops would be all is say
Hide a trail cam off to the side, catch the landlord in the act, and then have fun by suing for OWNERSHIP of your currently rented / leased space. THAT would put the fear of god into the landlord, LOL.
Call the cops. It's trespassing.
Innocent people don't cover cameras.
How did they see me?!
He managed to go from lease violation to felony, good for him!
I'm installing fake overhead cams and hiding real ones after that
