Can a landlord give permission for someone to come to your house?
My girlfriend and I moved into together in a new rental property. She and her former landlord had verbal agreements and there is a dispute over some of them. The former landlord, who was not given the new address, contacted the current landlord and supposedly obtained the address and permission to come onto the property. s this legal?

Come on to the property for what purpose? Landlords can allow agents to comt on to the property for a specisif purposes like repairs, etc. But giving some one the ability to enter your residence to harass you is a breach of your right to quiet enjoyment of your property. Seek legal help about this and about getting a restraining order against the other landlord. Good luck.
