[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 3179848, member: 1132"] My thoughts on this as split between legal and ethical. Ethically, her roommates are horrible people and I wish them a thousand irritations in life. Legally it’s all going to boil down to the type and scope of the lease(s). Based on the way the landlord is approaching the issue, it doesn’t seem that firearms possession is a violation of the lease (I could be wrong thought). Is it a joint lease or individual? Again, appearances are it’s joint. Does the lease grant each lessee exclusive rights to the bedroom portions, or do all lessees enjoy full access to the entire dwelling? Now I wouldn’t have agreed to the police inspection myself. But since it happened, I’d be asking the police if I had the right to have the roommates instructed on criminal trespass in my room. Then I’d install a lock on my bedroom door. If the lease agreement authorized them to have access to my bedroom, the next time they were all out, I’d literally pilfer through everything in their rooms, make a list and when they returned, list all the things they had in their rooms that I didn’t like and that made me uncomfortable. What’s good for her is good for the rest of them, right? I certainly wouldn’t move out without a full written release from the lease, deposit return and a small stipend for moving expenses. If any of them broke the lease and moved out, I’d take them to small claims court and seek a judgement against them. If the landlord pressured me to break the lease, I’d send him a cease and desist letter and fight eviction tooth and nail. [/QUOTE]
