nothing to do with pregnancy!! but HELP!

OMG!!
Today at about 2:45pm my boyfriend left for work. When he drove threw the parking lot he saw our landlord and her friend (another tenant) outside smoking. About 3mins after he left im sitting on the couch in my bath towel and i hear the door open. Im looking down at my phone, i say hello? Thinking it was my boyfriend and he had forgotten something. I look up and my landlords friend is in my house! Trespassing?? She stares at me and studders the words oh. Oh. Lois (landlord) wanted me to make sure you got her letter?
1st of all any business between us and our landlord is confidental?
She can't be having people walk in our apartment?
I feel sooo uncomfortable. Violated. & i want to move now.
Im thinking once they seen my boyfriend leave my landlord told her friend to come snoop in our apartment. Im 8mo pregnant with a 2yr old. I don't need people walking in my apartment. She was so fast it didn't even give me time to lock the door.
What can I do about this??

If she doesn't work there she cannot mwalk into your apartment she is the friend not the landlord. And even the landlord has to give notice or leave a note saying they were in there

You can totally sue! First of all nothing in what you posted in the lease states that what she did was validated. Good thing you filed a police report, next thing you have to do is Val around for legal advice and find a lawyer that is willing to take your case. You have full range to be livid, and because what they did was a breach of contract you have ever right to back it of your lease due to fear of your safety. What state do you live in? And do you know if the land Lord really knows that woman walked in or do you think she was trying to break in without landlords permission?

It says they can only walk in if no one is home...meaning she should have knocked first and then if no one answered she would be able to go in...did she actually have a letter or notice with her?

corrissa,  this is in clear violation of your lease.  There is no clause that says she can send a friend in to try to find out information.

What she said is bogus anyway - since she thought you weren't there at the time,  how was she going to ask you if you'd gotten the letter?  Who knows what she was doing there.

I would call the management company,  or whoever it is that's over your apartment manager and file a formal complaint.

Well make sure you seek legal consulation regarding the matter .. the reason she gave you wasn't justified enough and how do you know that she wasn't there to steal from you

I would seek legal consultation .. landlords usually take extra procaution when it comes to entering a tenants home because they can easily be sued for sexual assault, stealing etc. Even if they no the tenant is not home they still are supposed to announce there presence upon entering the home .. I think that's really unprofessional .. I understand what lexi915 is saying but I dnt think there's anyway around the obvious .. she violated the terms and its simple as that

I agree they have go reason to go inside. Calling the police was a great idea,now you have something on record! Also make a point to the landlord that the police have been called and get ahold of the owners! Write a letter or call. Who knows if that's not the first time,and who els are they trespassing on. Good luck! Xo

..and the excuse that the landlord wanted to make sure you got her letter is not probable cause nor is that reason stated in ur lease .. that's something that could have been handled with a simple phone call

@tayy ; that's what i kinda thought. That they had to put a note on your door saying there entering and giving 24hr notice.
I feel violated im sitting on the couch in my towel.
Now i don't even want to be here anymore i shouldn't have to worry about people just walking threw my door.
