We changed the locks originally because we caught him in the place doing an inspection unannounced. All our clothes had been gone through and the computer turned on. Funny sounding inspection.

The marmite was deserved. If you’re going to make someone’s life miserable and insecure for six months then we’re going to roll out the red carpet on pettiness.

Nothing is gained by being an asshole to an asshole. All you've done is provided him with documentable proof for how terrible and vindictive he thinks you are. It doesn't matter if every other claim he's made about you was a lie.

[setquk]

Sometimes it is not about personal gain but making sure that any unfair gains are worthless.

[vraivroo]

That is not just "an asshole". That is criminal.

[ubercow13]

It probably felt good though!

[Twirrim]

Yeah, but it's a complete waste of Marmite. It ought to be illegal to waste such a heavenly thing as marmite like that.

[setquk]

We'll agree to disagree on that. After 22 years of putting up with marmite in the house I still don't like it ;)

To anyone reading this: if this happens to you, please talk to a lawyer. Please do something to protect future tenants, get the landlord's info online. Don't seek retribution just for yourself.

(if you want to burn all your money on a lawyer that is)

It's honestly best to cut your losses and walk away.

That may be a criminal act in your jurisdiction. My local laws allow the landlord access, but the landlord needs to provide 48h notice of the inspection (with a list of specific exceptions for emergency work, mostly around plumbing and electrical work) and cannot bar the tenant from being present during the inspection.

Entirely legal in EU, btw
