The OP wrote : "Pictures are not illegal to take. But it is illegal to take them on private property if you have been asked not to."
So, as I presumed, you are just making up laws where there are none. There is no law stating what you say above. Second, the property managers are authorized agents of the actual property owner, who ultimate exercises private property rights. Bottom line, your assertion that you have any control over whether pictures are taken is not cut and dried, as you presume. You can makee up laws and claim your opinions are law, but that won't make it so.

- Yes if some random person tried to come off the street and take pictures you have every right to stop them, and depending on the situation may be allowed to use force to do so. However you do not OWN this residence, and the landlord(who is not some random person) does have certain rights. So I ask this again..show us the law that makes it illegal for a LANDLORD(or their representative) to take pictures if the current resident has asked them not to. My guess is that you can't and are probably trying to treat this as if you own the property and not just leasing it.
You still haven't answered the other question. Why do you not want pictures being taken? To most people that would raise several red flags and make them wonder if there is either something illegal going on, or you have done some severe damage that you are trying to hide.

Perhaps you should get a life I presume?
I am not the only Kortas in the State of Arizona bonehead. I certainly have not spent time in jail.
How do you take a consumer's concern over a company and try to blame that person. Get more facts bonehead. Perhaps you should ask for all the details before making a blank judgment call.
As mentioned before. I have all documents and video to substantiate. Why don't you address that.
This is not a random act of hatred towards Golba Group. This is from continuous harassment over multiple events and they have gone TOO FAR when coming to my home and causing conflict.
If you have ever dealt with Golba Group, you would know what I mean. My Agent advised me not to get involved with them from the get go. I should have listene.

What is so hard about not doing this when you have been asked not to.
This is Golba Group's way of pushing people around and treating people how they should not be treated.

I wondered how you knew so much about the law. Now I know: you have been in a lot of courtrooms, Defendant Kortas.
Youve been charged in the past in Scottsdale (three times), Kingman (twice), and Phoenix. Looks like the last time you were charged in Scottsdale there were some drug/alcohol issues and they had you in jail for awhile. Later on you failed to appear four different times and you failed to pay the fines you agreed to pay.
On another occasion you pleaded guilty to intentional assault in Scottsdale. Looks like you had to attend anger management training that time. I wont ask how that worked out for you.
You got busted in Kingman for driving without insurance and another time for driving on a suspended drivers license.
So you just go ahead and file for your injunction to prohibit harassment. The judge will likely put you in the mental ward for an involuntary assessment and remove your son from your custody as you are both a danger to all around you and a genuine whacko. Your landlord will be able to have you evicted immediately because you are a threat. Good riddance!

I am sorry to burst your "paranoia bubble" that you seem to be in but I am not associated with the Golba group/Century 21 in any way, shape or form.
The only thing I see in your report is that they keep attempting to inspect the property and you keep throwing up barriers and what amounts to a temper-tantrum when ever they do. You keep referencing notices you gave them(which is funny because you are renting from them) stating you are not going to allow pictures. You reference unspecified laws that state pictures are not allowed.
So can you post the specific law that states that a landlord is not allowed to take pictures of their property? After all if what you are saying is true it can only help others right?
I am actually rather curious as to not only what other rant you may go on, but as to why you are so stuck on not allowing pictures in the first place.

"This is obviously a rebuttal by Scott Golba pretending to act like someone from Irvine. It matches the previous email that you hid behind your staff without the ability to rebuttal you as well. Shall I post that as well?"
Is it really obvious? You're quite the detective, aren't you? Regulars on this site know who Robert is. It appears that the same paranoia that causes you to act like a goofball with the property manager is rearing it's ugly head here as well.
Although it has been awhile since I've rented in AZ, I wonder if you could point out what law prevents a landlord or their representatives from photographing the property. As this is routinely done by property managers all over the state, I have a hard time believing that it is actually illegal for them to do so.

1) You were notified on numerous occasions that no pictures were allowed on the property outside of the public areas (the curb).
1st Notice: December 2010 when you scheduled 3 inspections inside of 1.5 weeks
2nd Notice: The day the inspection notification was received, I emailed advising no pictures were to be taken.
3rd Notice: The day of the inspection, I again emailed that morning to remind that no pictures were to be taken
4th Notice: The moment the inspector got here, I noticed a camera in his hand and again reminded him no pictures where to be taken.
(Not sure how YOU don't get the point that pictures are not allowed. What else can one do to possibly notify this is not an allowable practice)
2) There is no terms to the rental agreement that indicate pictures are a forcible issue.
3) There are laws protecting my privacy that allow me to refuse pictures on the property (pictures may be legally taken from the curb as that is public property)
4) I have everything on video and recording to substantiate my claims of harassment and abuse.
5) The reason 3pm worked out is because that is when the inspector started to do exactly what they were legally told not to do. This would not have been the case if they would have shown up earlier than 2:54 (6 minutes before the inspection).
This is obviously a rebuttal by Scott Golba pretending to act like someone from Irvine. It matches the previous email that you hid behind your staff without the ability to rebuttal you as well. Shall I post that as well?
Renters and Realtors : Why would you even take a chance at going with this group. Take your clients and business elsewhere so you also do not have to deal with Scott in this manner.
They are posting responses acting as if they are someone else. These rebuttals of a "3rd party" on this site are not those of true 3rd parties. They are those of Golba Group injecting false and misleading rebuttals to make themselves appear moral.
I can be reached at [email protected] for anyone that wants this video and emails in writing.

There are 3 sides to every story. Your side, their side, and somewhere in the middle the truth. We only have 1 side and it is obviously slanted to your point of view. Where I bet their side would probably bring an entirely new light on this.
Yes if you are leasing a house/apartment they have to give you notice for any inspections. Unless it is an emergency they can not just come in anytime they want. However they apparently did give you notice. Now not knowing your exact laws or what your lease says pictures MAY be allowed. From what you wrote it sounds like they had at least a thought that something is going on in violation of the lease terms, and your actions, if anything, made that thought a little more solid in their minds.
First you convienently had a carpet cleaning appointment for the exact same time. Then once they entered you out right REFUSED to allow them to take pictures. Then at exactly 3PM you attempted to kick them out. I might have missed some points but I think these were the highlights.
The only "commotion" that seemed to occur was caused by YOU and your drama. Seriously if your 5 year old son is traumatized by this I think you need to look in the mirror as to who is the person who caused that. I would not be surprised if they do "retalliate" against you and start eviction procedures.
