Sounds like it's essentially a group house with shared living spaces, but the landlord picks the roommates. This allows the landlord to keep the rents high for individual rooms/parts of the house.

It's a really shady setup and definitely illegal.

Sorry, but if they have the front door to the address, access to your home and control the am, it sounds like they are the tenants and you are living with them. I am not sure there is anything you can do without raising the fact you are renting illegally.

Get a po box for your packages. Maybe buy a portable ac unit. And hope they move soon.

I would get the PO box or have stuff delivered to my work. No, you shouldn't have to do that, yes it sucks but don't make waves unless things get worse.

Why do they have keys to the neighbors unit?

OP here and see that's part of my problem. How many times do you give someone the benefit of the doubt? Did you suggest to your neighbors that they shouldn't have their mail delivered to their own address because of your carelessness?


BS. Call the Postmaster General. File a complaint. What they are doing is illegal.

OP here and I am not calling the police for a non-emergency situation.


Nice. You are the only sane one here, OP.

That sounds good in theory, but it won't work in real life. The landlord probably regrets renting to these people, but there just isn't much he can do, short of talking to them and asking them to cut it out - especially since he's long distance. If he bugs the new tenants too much, they can threaten to report him for housing violations, at which point the whole place will be shut down. Landlords want problem tenants even less than their neighbors want them, especially in this kind of situation.
