無殼蝸牛在外租屋風險多,若是遇到惡房東,那真的是雪上加霜,尤其房東擅闖屋內事件更是屢見不鮮,房客與房東之間若無法達成共識,到底房客該如何維護自身權益,避免房東再次擅自闖入?
房東擅闖房客租屋處事件一再發生,有黃姓女性民眾反應,房東曾趁她外出時,擅自帶外人進屋帶看,讓她感覺隱私不被尊重;另外,鄭姓女租屋客也透露,在之前跟多名女性室友一起租整層住宅時,一開始沒發生什麼事,直到一個月後,發現男性房東常常擅自進出她們租屋處,而且頻率越來越頻繁,三不五時就闖進,坐在客廳喝酒、吹冷氣,對於她與朋友們的警告完全不在意,導致她們最終不得不考量自身安全,違約搬離。

事實上,當契約簽下後,該部分空間即為房客合法佔有使用,房東無權擅自進出租屋處,且根據民法第421條第2項規定,若房東以檢視屋內電線、電路、電器、瓦斯等用品安全為理由進入,房客是有權拒絕的。
若房東擅自進入出租出去的空間,恐違反刑法第306條「無故侵入他人住宅」罪嫌,及民法195條第1項侵害自由的損害賠償責任,可處一年以下有期徒刑、拘役或三百元以下罰金。
提醒,若發現房東有擅自闖進的行為,首先,想「避免」類似情形,可於簽約前就先跟房東釐清「公共空間」定義,並於對方(房東)初犯時,就向對方表明自己的隱私權遭到侵犯。
再者,可以「加裝暗鎖」防止房東直接侵入;最後,「更換門鎖」也是最有效的方式,雖然不需要經過房東同意,但需特別留意,「原鎖」一定要保留,並且在退租時換回原鎖,以順利完成交屋。

(CNN)A cruise ship spilled thousands of gallons of liquid food waste in the Great Barrier Reef in August, according to an ongoing investigation by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority -- potentially damaging a reef already plagued by pollution and coral bleaching.
Carnival, which owns the P&O cruise ship, said the spill was unintentional and amounted to 7,000 liters (1,849 gallons). But Green Party Senator Larissa Waters and local media report the spill was 27,000 liters (7,133 gallons), citing an Australian Maritime Safety Authority report presented to the Senate. That amount is equivalent to more than 100 bathtubs full of waste water.

The P&O ship spilled the polluted water on August 26, but authorities were not notified until two days later when Carnival self-reported the incident.
    Australian authorities detained the ship when it returned to Sydney in early September, according to an Australian Maritime Safety Authority representative. Carnival had to pay a fine of about $1.5 million (2.1 million Australian dollars) to release the vessel.
    "The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority takes pollution of the Marine Park seriously and works with the Australian Maritime Safety Authority to ensure the best outcome for the Great Barrier Reef," said a park authority spokesperson in a statement.

    The Great Barrier Reef, one of the seven natural wonders of the world, is a protected park and World Heritage site. Stretching more than 1,800 miles along the Queensland coast, the reef is large enough to be seen from space and holds the world's largest collection of corals.
    But scientists say the corals are on death row because of climate change and environmental damage -- prompting the Australian government to pledge almost $380 million for improving the water quality and restoring the reef this year.
      "It took an anonymous tip off and my questioning in Senate Estimates today for details of a waste spill in the Great Barrier Reef by a cruise ship to be made public. Where is the transparency?!" Sen. Waters wrote in a Facebook post about the spill.
      The Australian Maritime Safety Authority said it is still investigating the spill, and that discharging pollutants in the reef is a serious offense.
