Some relationships between tenants and landlords turn sour when end month approaches and payment of rent delays slightly. There is also a section of tenants who accuse house owners of invasion of privacy.

For instance, there are landlords who enter into business premises or houses of their tenants unannounced to allegedly inspect the property. The landlord could be the impatient one who knocks on your door on the first day of the month even after you agreed to be paying rent on the 5th.
