Q: Apartment manager decided to do a “wellness check” without telling us.. there is a lot more.
Manager entered our apartment with any form on contact before doing so while my wife was asleep naked and daughter was sleeping. Got to the bedroom door before announcing himself and my wife freaked out and tried to cover up as quickly as possible, he proceeded to stand there and stare at her while she was freaking out and he was saying sorry and her asking him to leave, he tried explaining his reasoning then left. My wife has extremely bad anxiety and it is really messing with her and now feels very unsafe. This all happened while I was at work. Mine and his conversation primarily happened over the phone but several emails were exchanged with proof of the incident.
How would I go about this if able to sue? What kind of compensation would I be looking at getting? Is there any advice?
A: You can file a police report, but they are unlikely to do anything. You could sue the apartment owner for trespass. Talk to the owner about the manager's unauthorized entry. Put an interior lock on the door.
