Am I in the Wrong?

My landlord and her daughter came into mine and my daughter’s room that we are renting today to grab clothes and belonging that she had left here. I received NO verbal, written or otherwise notice of her plans to do so in advance, and was only told later that evening that this had taken place.

When we got “home,” our room was tossed around quite a bit! It’s obvious they had gone through all of the drawers, closets, etc, which also includes our personal belongings, in order to make sure she had all of the things she wanted, I’m assuming.

I later found out that her son (who is a close friend of mine, but still…) had ALSO come into our room, without permission, to grab a couple of his daughters belongings (I had her over to watch her last night). His daughter did not need these items anytime soon, but the way.

I’m feeling pretty uncomfortable with this. In my experience with rental agreements, the landlord always gives prior notice and makes a plan with me/the tenant before coming onto, and especially inside the home. It’s really thrown us off kilter. It’s led us to feel quite uncomfortable in a space that we should feel safe in.

What do you guys think? Is this an invasion of my privacy and against my rights as the tenant, or is the status quo?
