So... the situation: Im sharehousing with a couple of people (some students, some not) and our landlord also lives on the premises. Tonight arose a conflict when the landlord was wanting to watch a particular TV show (I know, petty right?) and majority (3:1) wanted to watch another, in public domain (that is, lounge room). Consequently, he decided to go and watch said show in a tenants room... that tenant was not home at the time.
So, my other housemate and I decided we felt it was right to let that tenant know that the landlord had entered his room and was touching his belongings without the tenant's permission... to which the tenant called the landlord informing him to remove himself from his property. Landlord had a go at me, and I stuck by the fact that the other tenant had a right to know who was entering his legal property.
Does anyone know the legal implications of this at all? Cos I'd be really interested to know, we have all signed written contracts for our housing and so I'm guessing the NSW Tenant's Residential Act applies??
What would you do???
