I've got someone asking me about their situation and I'd like to know if anyone has had experience with this.
if a landlord or "maintenance" is entering your apartment without permission, are there any legal issues with it, or is it strictly a problem with the terms or your lease? Are there laws in Indiana about this?
I've heard stories where they show up and change the cable box on the TV, knock twice and come in with strangers to show them the unit, etc. Pretty ridiculous stuff. Its incredibly rude, not to mention dangerous if they happened to surprise you being inside your apartment without your permission. It could easily end badly.
So, legal problem or a bad lease?
