Re: basrment access

The answer to this questions will depend to a large extent on what you lease says. If you have the exclusive use to the basement, or if the basement is listed as only yours then you may be able to object to this. Without knowing who has rights in each portion of the home--you, upstairs tenant and the landlord I can't answer more completely.
