Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Connecticut

I live in a three family house. There is a common laundry area beneath the house in the garage/basement area. I recently installed a camera and recorded the third floor tenant using my washing machine without permission. I suspected it was being used because I use that area as an exit/entrance for work and have been checking my washing machine. I plan to tell the landlord but the caveat here is that the third floor tenant is his sister! What are my legal options if he doesn't want to do anything; protecting his sister?

If the landlord wants to allow his sister to use the washing machines he can, without violating any of your rights under your lease. The only way you would have a point is if your lease stated that the sister cannot use the machines. Or, if you want to claim that her use of the machines is prohibiting you from doing something under your lease. Otherwise, there is not too many options for you unfortunately.
