My husband would be going to jail, because he would beat both their asses.
Iām pretty sure the dude canāt even legally take the job if you have kids in the home. Iād definitely tell the landlord to find someone else. Call your sheriffs office to ask if the guy can legally be at your place and forward your findings to your landlord. You pay rent and have the right to refuse someone entry.

I hate to say this but different laws go for different offenders!! He maybe able to work line the field he has but not live or be able to stay with kids!! As long as heās registered and doing a job he supposed to be doing itās hard for one to just say I donāt want them around!! I lived across the street from one!! We both were left our familyās home!! He worked as a maintenance guy for the housing office!! People used to report him all the time because they were just uncomfortable!!

Talk to the landlord, bring up that you were not comfortable with not having any notice of this man or your landlord coming over. There has to be notice and respectfully from now on you would like him to abide by your rights.
-
Explain everything you found and then explain he is not allowed in your house and if neccisary you will have the police waiting at the supposed scheduled time and that youāre sure they will assist him to where he belongs.
3.please check your full rights with the police department because chances are they will go look into him first

I would call the non emergency police line and ask them what your rights/options are. Iām not sure what you found against the guy, who he is, or what his actual crime was, so I canāt tell you what Iād be feeling. However the first thing that comes to mind for me, is some offenders who are listed for life as having offended against minors when they where an 18 or 19 year old with a 16 or 17 year old girlfriend theyād been dating since before they became an adult when the girls parents decided they didnāt like him anymore or maybe never did. Maybe this isnāt the case here, but check into it before allowing him back into your home for sure!

I would email or text the landlord so you have a legal copy. Tell him you under no circumstances will have a registered sex offender in your home and to find someone with no criminal record (as he should be doing anyways) this man now knows the ins and outs of your home so I recommend making sure there are locks on all windows and deadbolts on doors.

Am I the only one who says let the guy work. Heās not living in your house. He is simply doing a job. You arenāt asking him to babysit your children are you??? No, so let the dude get on with the work. I mean unless he is being creepy and unprofessional that is something I would talk to the landlord about otherwise. Just stay out of his way and more than likely he will stay out of yours. Take a walk and go to the park with your kids that way you wonāt have to sit in the house and feel uncomfortable.

Iād be pissed too! Landlords dont always follow the rules such as 24 hour notice to come in your home mine has done it too,thatās our right as tenants
Registered sex offenders who have committed times against a child are NOT allowed to be around children Iām pretty sure. You have every right to tell your land lord that this is not acceptable. You can always speak to you local police station about this person if his record is public knowledge they will be able to tell you if he is even allowed around children and depending on what the police tell you, you can use that as leverage to your landlord to find someone else

So since so many people think he canāt be near childrenā¦that is not necessarily a true fact. It depends whether he is on supervision like probation or parole. If he completed his sentence then it depends on each state and the laws they mandate. It is best to look up local laws before trying to get someone arrested for this. Do some research and if you find out he is not off supervision or if the law in your state does prevent him from working in homes of families with kidsā¦then report it to the police.

Check the landlord tenant laws in your state to see what type of rights you have in this situation. Most states require a 24 hour notice to enter to the dwelling. It should also help you in the situation of a contractor you arenāt comfortable being around. But if all else fails, call your local police (non emergency line) or sheriffs department and they should be able to guide you.
Landlord probably only cares how cheap he is. 1) discuss with your landlord. 2) if he still insists to use said sex offender, let him know that you will have a police officer over during the time. Iām not sure about your area but if you contact the police about not feeling safe with that individual then they send an officer out to you to be with you during that time.
Anyways If the cop is there, the sex offender will more than likely be scared off.

There was no mention to the landlord about a leak by you or your husband? Cause that would make sense for having it checked, but regardless there should be notification upon arrival. Although, having a registered sex offender scoping out under your house is scary! I would not be okay with that! Iād be pissed about this situation too. You should be able to deny entry to your home if you feel unsafe. Good luck!!
No freaking way. You pay rent and if you dont feel comfortable of someone coming into your house have landlord find someone else! Reason is great enough.
Do not let that man back in your house. Tell your landlord you will not allow a registered sex offender in your home where you have 2 small childrenā¦ If he wants to still push it call the lawyer then get the man trespassed by cops from your home. Fuck that landlord ill be damned if i allow a sex offender in my home.
There are laws that say the landlord can only come without a 24 hour notice in case of emergencyā¦to check for leak, if not gas then he should give you warning of 24 hours. And I would remind him of that if he refuses to have a non sex offender do the work.

Call your landlord he may not know at least call him let him know what you found and go from there if he does know tell him you donāt want him in your home you donāt have to let anyone in your home you donāt want in and if this sex offender aināt following his rules than he canāt be there around children but if his restrictions are some what limited where heās allowed to do a job like that than you canāt necessarily do anything to get him in trouble but you definitely can refuse him into your home itās your right your home your paying rent so Iād start with my landlord and tell him but even if he doesnāt do anything you can absolutely refuse to let the guy in your home
I would most definitely look up state laws with renting. Most states, they are to give you a notice before arrival and some even a 24 hour notice. Also, if he is using a registered sex offender and refuses to use anyone else, call the help line at your local police station and see what you can do. Simply explain your situation and that you have young children. I wish you the best of luck!

Tell your landlord you do not want a registered sex offender, a pervert in your home around your two young children. You will not allow him in.
Let your landlord know!
Where do you live? If in the UK then you have the right to refuse access to the landlord and any contractor. Also surely that thing is on a list and therefore shouldnāt be within a certain distance of children?
Id call the local police station tell them the mans name and that he is a registered child sex offender doing work for your landlord and that you are very uncomfortable with him around because you have small children. Tell them you want to remain anonymous because you dont want trouble with your landlord. Then let them figure out what to do. If it violates his parole. Im sure you will never see him again. If not they will make their presence known. Make sure that you stress he will be in your home for 2 whole days to do work on ur apartment and that you feel very unsafe. Pull the damsel in distress card if you have to. But im quite sure he isnt allowed near kids.

U have a right to refuse his service and request someone else. It is your landlords job to find someone who is licensed with no criminal background and he sounds rude as hell and disrespectful for even letting a repairman with such background be even close to your babies. I would also file a police report because he more than likely violated his probation
Without a doubt do NOT allow this person back in your home if youāre there or not. Hell especially if youāre not there. He could do anything. I would first contact my landlord and explain your feelingsā¦he may not know about this persons history and if he insists on allowing the sick bastard to do the work i would reach out to my local police departments and see what they recommend. If no one will offer you a satisfying solution I would see if someone come watch the kids during that time and have a friend come stay with me while heās there. I would stand over him and watch his every move until he leaves. Do no allow him an opportunity to be alone in any room. He could plant cameras or anything.

You donāt know if the landlord knows heās a sex offender. So cannot say he is fully aware of him knowing that.

There are so many things wrong with the situation I donāt know where to begin.

Check your tenant rights in your area. Landlords are usually required to give some kind of notice before having someone out for work, also to see if you have any rights to decline the person working on your house.
I would then call the police non emergency number and see if the worker can actually be around the children.

If you definitely know heās a Sex Offender, contact your local Probation and Parole Office and find out if heās still on probation. If he is, there are restrictions as to contact with children under certain ages and proximity restrictions as well. If he violates his conditions he could be revoked and returned to jail. Worth the phone call to find out any information that may be useful to you and Probation and Parole to keep a known predator at bay.

Check your state laws, but I believe a landlord is required to give at least 24 hrs notice before coming to, or sending someone else to your house.

You call your local sheriffs department and advise them that there is a registered sex offender who has come into the home with children present and plans to continue returning to the residence while being aware of children living there. Its illegal and he knows it. Talk to your landlord calmly. And if he continues to insist this mans services and continues to show up without the legal notice required (24/hrs prior, etc) there should be a housing authority type thing for renters you can report him to. Renters do have rights. Make sure your aware of your rights
