It doesn’t matter if “he’s probably a nice guy”. It violates the lease and it makes him liable for anything he breaks, not to mention possibly steals. He could have been entering her apartment to install a secret shower cam, who knows. She could have had dirty underwear laying out or something. Maybe the landlord is…
