If Your Living in a Rooming House, and Didn’t Sign a Lease, Can the Manager Enter the Room Wihout Permission?

Question by Ekiwalaka – Lepileii: If your living in a rooming house, and didn’t sign a lease, can the manager enter the room wihout permission?
This is for my cousin. She’s living in a rooming house in Quincy, MA and recently came home from work to find the housing manager in her room. He was sealing her window for the winter and said he had expected her to be out longer. Like she wouldn’t have noticed big pieces of plastic on her window when she got home.

She’s been living there for almost three years now and since moving in the landlord has gotten high (apparently he’s a heroin addict) and will knock on people’s doors at 2 in the morning or he’ll cook something in the community kitchen and pass out or fall asleep and set off all the fire alarms.

People have said something to the landlord (who ironically is a narcotics cop for Quincy) and have been told that the manager is a friend and until he’s physically sees him abusing drugs or tormenting the tenants, there’s nothing he can do about it.

Is it legal for the manager to just walk into the room? Or knock on doors at 2 in the morning?

I’ve told her she could move in with my wife and I SO many times (we have a finished attic that has a separate entrance, and we live in Boston, so it’s not like we’d be far from her work) but she doesn’t want to “impose”.

Suggestions?
I don’t know why it suggested family – but ok.

Also it should say WITHOUT not wihout in the title. LOL.

no to all except moving in with you! plus they (roomers) should call the police anytime any of those incidents occur at the time they are occurring.
