Apartment Is Asking To Leave Door Unlocked For Inspections

Card image cap

Location: Texas

I’ve been living in this apartment with my spouse and toddler for about 6 months now. We’ve had repeated documentation issues for months now, like being registered to the wrong unit, maintenance requests going to the wrong unit, pet showing unregistered when they are, etc.

I had a meeting with the manager this past week, and while they corrected some of these issues, they mentioned that they intentionally leave vague notices for inspection (ex: 2-3 weeks notice of inspection at ANY time during this period).

They also say by email, we’re NOT to deadbolt our unit if we’re home during this time. We could be showering, bathing a child, sleeping, and someone would attempt to come into our unit anytime during these weeks. If we don’t allow they will fine us.

We feel unsafe, and this lease is contingent upon university enrollment (university privately owned apartments). I will not be enrolled next semester, and there’s a clause that allows termination if not enrolled.

What would you advise?
