So you decide not to answer because it's probably someone trying to sell you something. But then a few seconds later you hear some keys jiggling, the door unlocks and opens with the concierge saying it's inspection day for the insurance.
Based on a true story. In fact I work nights and sleep during the day, and this happened multiple times. Inspection for the insurances. Inspection for bugs and rodents. Inspection of the fire system. They are supposed to warn 24h in advance but sometimes I apparently dont get their emails and it's a complete surprise.
I even installed a second lock to at least open the door myself instead of having people entering my apartment while I'm stoned on the couch.
That’s wild. Concierge as in hotel or what? I think landlords aren’t even allowed to have spare keys to your flat over here.
I don't know the exact word in English but, the person managing and maintaining the building. Not the landlord but their employee. I live in a high rise and my building has several of them.
And yeah, the law says they have to notify a tenant 24 hours before a landlord can emter an apartment, but there's no enforcement of that. Tenants don't have to acknowledge the notification. The landlord can just claim they sent an email or left a notice on my door and get in.
Some landlords are more respectful but my current one is a faceless billion dollar company that doesn't give a fuck about tenants. If I'm not happy I can go and they will rent even higher to the next person.
I think one of the terms here would be superintendent possibly? Sometimes just 'maintenance guy' though instead.
