The landlords said he's not allowed on the property but we've seen him around since his girlfriend got her apartment here.
They have been informed but their hands are kind of tied because they can't do anything without evidence and the cameras don't work well enough. They're just time lapse photos.
They said they're working on it, and as for my own apartment if he does break in, I have already installed security cameras.
I just need to pay a few bucks a month if I want it recorded, but I check regularly from work.
You have a cell phone? Use the video recording option on that. If you can live link it too, do so to your landlord so they can see that guy trespassing on real time.
It's odd that his gf would move on to the apartments he was evicted from. Unless she was unwittingly led , persuaded,by him to do so so he could have her as an excuse to continue stalking you.
Have you considered moving?
Given your concerns about this guy and the landlord knowing his history, you may be able to break your lease and get away from there.
If you do go that route do not give the landlord your new address for the security deposit mailing. Rent a PO box and go that route.
Be advised, a restraining order is tricky. If you go that route it can work against you.
Now days companies often conduct background checks on new hires. A restraining order will likely stay on his permeant record.
If that impacts his job prospects he could seek revenge.
The other issue about RO's or an Order of Protection is if you move you have to update that information on the order.
And your stalker gets that update too. Because he has to know the new location he's to stay away from.
So that's not really protecting you from him at all.
He can be arrested for violating such an order. However, it isn't typical that the violator goes to jail for an extended period of time.
Again, that makes for a revenge scenario once he's released.
Do you have protection?
If you feel he's dangerous you might consider a firearm. Learn how to use it so that you are comfortable with handling a weapon, and are accurate too.
Praying God keeps you safe.
