She Walked In On Her Daughter’s College Roommate Being Intimate With Another Roommate’s Boyfriend, And She Got Accused Of Violating The 24-Hour-Notice Before Entry Rule Since She Is Also The Landlord
This mother has a twenty-year-old daughter who is currently a junior in college. Her daughter’s college is also located in the same city she lives in, so it has made finding housing for her daughter a breeze.
In fact, she actually inherited a condo from her parents after they passed away, and it was her parents’ intent that the condo would be passed on to her daughter after college graduation.
So, that is the plan once her daughter is financially independent. But, in the meantime, the condo has also served her daughter as a rent-free housing option.
Her daughter has been living in the condo with two roommates– both of whom pay below-market rent. And ever since the three girls moved in together, everything had been going just fine.
Well, that was until earlier this week when she learned that her daughter had run out of some household supplies.
Apparently, her daughter’s schedule had been incredibly hectic lately– especially since she picked up some more shifts at her part-time job due to understaffing.
So, her daughter was not going to be able to pick up the household supplies until the end of the week. And after hearing that, she figured she would lend her daughter a hand.
“Wanting to be helpful, I offered to pick up the supplies for my daughter and drop them off at her place. She accepted,” she recalled.
She ended up going to pick up the supplies at the store the next day. Then, she took the items over to her daughter’s condo.

She reportedly knew that her daughter was in class at the time, though, so she knocked on the door and waited for one of the roommates to answer. Apparently, her daughter had asked her to just leave the supplies in the kitchen.
But, after no one answered the door, she let herself in and planned to just drop the items off and leave. Right after she opened the front door, though, she came face-to-face with one of her daughter’s roommates being intimate with a man on the living room couch.
Of course, she was mortified and did not want to stick around any longer. So, she just put the supplies down near the door and left immediately.
“I also didn’t say anything to my daughter about what happened because I didn’t want to put her in an uncomfortable position. But I did let her know that I had dropped off the supplies,” she explained.
Well, she later learned that her daughter did know about what really happened after she received a furious email from her daughter’s roommate’s parents.
At first, she was not sure what exactly the roommate’s parents were told. But, in their email, they accused her of invading the roommate’s privacy– specifically because she is the landlord and did not give twenty-four-hour notice before entering the condo.
The roommate’s parents did not just voice their anger, though. In fact, they went on to actually threaten legal action against her if she ever entered the condo without prior notice again.
She was vaguely familiar with that landlord requirement but was pretty sure it did not apply here– especially since her daughter gave her permission to enter the day before.
Still, though, she felt bad about what happened and began to wonder if entering the condo without explicitly giving her daughter’s roommates twenty-four-hour notice was the wrong thing to do.
Well, that was until she got the full scoop on the situation from her daughter and learned that all of the roommates had been notified of her visit by her daughter. But, the roommate on the couch allegedly “forgot” and got super nervous after she walked since the guy on the couch was the other roommate’s boyfriend! And that explained the whole angry email fiasco.
“My daughter’s roommate freaked out and contacted her parents because she was scared I would spill the beans. And I still don’t know exactly what she told her parents, but I assume it was not the full story,” she revealed.
So now, the roommate she found on the couch will be moving out of the condo, and she will be drafting up a new lease for her daughter’s other roommate.
She has also spoken to her lawyer, who claims that since her daughter gave explicit permission to enter the condo and drop off the supplies, she is likely in the clear.
Still, though, she has been left wondering if her visit to the apartment is to blame for the downfall of the roommates’ friendship.
Do you think that even though she is technically the landlord, her daughter providing permission to enter the home is okay since she is also family? What do you think the cheating roommate told their parents that made them send the threatening email? If you had just been trying to help out your daughter with a shopping trip, would you have done the same thing?
