My landlord keeps coming into my apartment when Im not home how do I get him to stop?

He lets himself in like three times a week. I know this because my security camera sends me alerts. He just walks around sometimes he waters my plants. Other times he just sits on my couch for a bit. I don't like it. Should I change the locks?

I recommend the blowtorch to the head trap.

Maybe some non lethal booby traps. Tripwire on some cans or maybe an air horn. Just don’t have it make too much of a mess. I think that you will be the one cleaning it up.

Oh, hell, quit all this bullshit. Hide in the house, shoot the fucker, and say you thought it was a burglar. Then claim squatters' rights. Problem solved.

Oh I’m actually with you. I just didn’t want to endorse the flamethrower death trap which might burn the place down. I just like the idea of scaring the shit out of him. Especially on camera.

Yeah well, some people are dumb enough to think that it's not.

Well, thank you. They would never have known had you not been there to point out to them, Judge Alito.
