Re: Legal Search of Apartment
A lawful search may be made only with the informed consent of a legal occupant of the apartment, or with a properly-issued court controlled search warrant. A landlord is not legally authorized to admit law enforcement to an apartment without a search warrant, as a landlord is not a legal occupant.
