My landlord has a storage closet in the house and he told his friend to come in today while I was at work. The front door has a deadbolt so rather than using the side door he jumped in through my bedroom window and went and got whatever from the storage and left.
My landlord texted me to tell me he was very disappointed that this is the second time in a row that I was not allowing access for his random friends and family to come over and check on the place (last time I actually was at the doctor’s office when apparently his mom couldn’t get in without more than 1 hours notice).
He’s sending over his mother in the morning which he messaged me at 9pm. I really want to just leave the deadbolt unlocked and just call the cops and tell them she’s trespassing when she shows up.
Also the icing on the cake of all of this is apparently the thing that his friend was coming to get was a gun that he was storing with my landlord because he is a prohibited possessor, not allowed to have guns because he has domestic violence charges.
Risky. Depends on location and details, could make OP liable. For example, if you chuck furniture that was stored, and they later say the place was fully furnished, you have to deal with that. Who can say how it unfolds.
Still worth looking in the lease. If access to it is not part of the lease agreement, time to alert the landlord that the closet items need to find a new home.
