Open Question: right to access for landlords. Is my privacy being violated?
I live in Vermont. Vermont law is written ambigiously.

The landlord is allowed “reasonable access” to “inspect” with 48 hours “notice”.

My landlord has been in my condo 5 times in 2.5 months. Once every two to three weeks on average
My landlord was there on Dec 13 when he gave me the keys. he was there again the following week to remove items from the closets he left behind as agreed. He was there three weeks later to “get some books” he left behind. While he was there he went into another room and looked in my closet. All of these times were agreed upon. Three weeks after that he left 6 messages within two days on my VM saying he was coming to inspect. I was away. We never made contact. I came home to find he had been there, without my knowledge and filmed the apartment. I also “know” he was there a few days before on President’s day without telling me (4 days before his last “inspection” things leaning against the door he uses were no longer leaning on that door) but I can’t prove it. After the last inspection he came again a week later to inspect again.

My question is: Does notice mean he has to speak with me, or does a message on an answering machine count?

Also: It is a furnished apartment. I moved to twin beds to accomodate my treadmill. he says this is a lease violation. The lease does not say furniture moving is prohibited.

He claims it is “dirty”- the realtor came and inspected and there was no dust or grime anywhere in the apartment and nothing lying around. he had come in when the floors needed a vacuming. Is this unreasonable of him?

He claims cigarette butts on the garage floor (there is no smoking taking place inside the premisis) are a violation. There is nothing about smoking at all in the lease.

My lease says he has to give me 24 hous notice. VT law says 48 hours. Does the law trump the lease, or have I limited my rights by signing a lease that says 24 hours?

He has a different excuse every time- to reclaim things left behind, to show the apartment (which is false, he comes alone with no realtor or perspective tebants and boldly says he is inspecting) Is he violating my rights?

Is this harassment? IS HE the one in violation? Is 5 times in 2.5 months enough for him to be satisfied that his house has not been burned down or whatever?
2.5 months is two and a half, not 25. The decimal may be hard to see. It was for me when I saw the post. I have a 6 month lease by the way.

This is not the first stuff he has pulled either. There were a lot of problems moving in.
I did read my lease.

The realtor (in fact three from the office including the owner) have inspected three tmes over the course of last week and have found no damage, no dust, nothing that would warrent suspicion or complaints. The realtor in fact called him “crazy” and harassing and put him on notice that he is violating my rights from their point of view. But they are realtors, not lawyers. And he just will not stop asking for accomodation after accomdation- take the treadmill down, move your boxes, clean the floors, and so on.
Did I mention the last time he was there, when I had no idea he was,he filmed the interior of the house? My unmade bed, ladies unmentionables hanging up in the laundry room to dry and so on?

Open Question: Seller paying closing costs on first home?
I have two questions.

1)I am buying a house, under the deal the the seller will be paying up to $3500 of my closing costs. I have the exact down payment in savings, but I don’t have the money for the inspection and initial closing fees which is around $800 without dipping into my down payment fund.

Since the seller is paying these fees in the end, does this matter? Or do I actually need the my down payment + $800, just to be reimbursed for the fees at settlement?

2) If I need to come up with both funds in the short term, can I do a cash advance or charge these fees until the close date when I get the money back?
