I've had more than one landlord that insisted on stopping by once or twice a month. "stopping by" was usually hanging around outside the property, sometimes just knocking to "make sure everything is OK". And weirdly enough, I've never had this while living with a man - only when I was living alone or with another woman. It makes me feel unsafe and like I had no privacy in my private home. And my problems were pretty mild. The places I lived in were fairly well-kept. Lots of folks have issues with roaches, leaks, and a slew of other issues that fall on deaf ears. Lots of folks are actually unsafe. Lots of folks get overcharged for things that come out of a security deposit (oh, a nail hole... that'll be $300 plus paint - nevermind that we'd paint anyway). And so on. This is, of course, because in many areas, there is little to no oversight of landlords and no one really to help a tenant with issues. Decent folks being landlords are the exception, not the rule.
