Sorry if this isn’t the right sub for this type of post. Wasn’t sure which one made the most sense.
Background: I gave notice on my rental apartment and our lease is up October 15. The landlord’s listing agent has been in contact with me and confirmed a showing for 530 pm on a Sunday with about 6 hours notice; I agreed.
At about 1245pm, my dog starts doing that warning low “woooof” type bark towards the front door and gets all fuzzed up. I walk up to the peep hole and a man is staring at my door with a woman next to him. I open the door to ask who they are and what they want, and he explains that he is a realtor there to show the apartment to “the next tenant” and motions to the woman with him. Well, OK, except…. landlord’s listing agent confirmed a 530pm appointment and no others. Realtor won’t leave and starts to thumb through his emails to show me the confirmed appointment time.
I get the landlord’s listing agent on speakerphone and listing agent tells me that he declined two requests for 1230 and 115pm and to tell the other realtor to book an appointment on Showingtime.com. He also tells me not to let him in. So, I repeat what the listing agent told me and the guy is STILL insistent that he has a confirmed showing. I have to tell him “I’m not letting you into my apartment unless you’re the 530 appointment AND it’s 530pm” and the woman rolls her eyes at me. Finally the realtor accepts that he’s not getting in and he leaves.
I…. am pretty annoyed. I don’t appreciate being mansplained to in any situation, but certainly not by two strangers standing outside my door trying to figure out how to enter my apartment. Is there a place to report these types of interactions or complaints? Real estate board? Thanks.
