Can my landlord/aparment manager ban my ex-husband from coming over to watch my kids while I’m at work?
About a year ago, my husband’s friends were living here and for reasons I don’t know they received a 24-hour eviction notice. He was helping them move. They left him in their house to continuing packing while they took a load over to the new place. It was after the 24 hours and the landlord came in to change the lock, but my husband was still in the apartment. He was not told at the time that he was banned. Then last night they saw him come to my house to relieve the babysitter and told him that he would have to leave or they would call the cops on him for trespassing (because he was banned).

Generally speaking, a landlord - or an agent of the landlord which is what I presume the apartment manager is here legally - has the right to prohibit certain people from being on their property. Remember: this is private property that has been leased for use by someone from the actual owner - the landlord. So really the only people that have a right to be on the property are the landlord, their agents and the tenant that is one the lease. I think that you really need to fix this problem with your landlord. Whatever went wrong is seriously impacting on you and your children and they need to be set right. You catch more flies with home than with vinegar. Good luck.
