Would it be considered trespassing when my psycho landlord closes my bedroom window from the outside? (lemmy.ml)

I want to keep my window open because it's my preference. My landlord wants to keep it closed because they remotely controls the house's A/C. They'll walk right up to my room and slam it shut whenever they visits on random days to harass us about the kitchen looking like people live here.

Not everywhere offers that either. That's the pitfalls of asking online. One may get hundreds of replies that aren't helpful, to get one or a few that are. A lot of times I got zero useful replies in and of themselves, but useful in that they gave me another actionable idea.

Generally speaking all tenant lawyers work on contingency fees, they will give a free consultation to see if the case if potentially worth enough money for them to take it and then if so take a 40% cut of whatever the case makes. Tenant lawyers would not exist otherwise because virtually no tenants can hire a lawyer up front. So unless there are literally no tenant lawyers in an area, there will be someone willing to give a free consultation since that is how the business model is designed.
