Unauthorized Condo Access
First-time home owner here -
I am in the interim occupancy period of a new condo. I was informed by condo management that there would be "HVAC maintenance" done next week (July 27) in suite. This morning my ring home security was set off and I found out that the contractor had entered my suite to perform this maintenance. Problem is that the builder and contractor did not notify condo management of their schedule change and accessed my unit without my approval or notification ahead of time. Whats worse is that they went in/out numerous times over a 20 minute period as the alarm was going off.
When I picked up the keys for my unit, I specifically requested that contractors do not enter my unit without my permission or notification. I called condo management and they were also not impressed with what the builder/contractor did by not informing them of the schedule change. I understand if this were an emergency such as flooding or fire etc they would have to go in but this was far from that.
My question is can the builder be accountable for what they did? What are my rights? Could this be viewed as a break and enter? I just feel that my privacy and space was severely violated...or am I over reacting??
