Suddenly my front door opened and in stepped my landlord. NO notice (as required by law in this state), no warning - not even a knock - , and no emergency. My (at the time) little dog flew at him in a SHELTIE RAGE and bit him several times on his legs and then went for his hands when he tripped in his effort to back-up. Good dog. And threatening him with contacting (state agency I can't recall right now) also enabled my breaking the 6-month lease, whew! Sometimes when I see news stories about landlords setting up cameras in female tenants' bathrooms etc. I think about him... Oh and she was a good dog and not at all rage-ful under other circumstances. It was just that I was sick and she decided she was protecting me. And she was.
