Violation of Tenant's Rights by Tee (Colorado) on October 23, 2014 @18:35

I own a Business, located in a an office building.. When I leave to go to lunch, the Property Mgr decides to go into my rental space (without and notice!) When confronted, he says "I can go in at anytime..." BUT this presents many Corporate Security Issues!! Jepordizes Trade Secrets, and in this case 'breach' confidential information...

I collect, house, and maintain Personal Identifying and Health Information, and my Landlord's unannounced entry, has potentially exposed information that could be a "Reportable Event" to HIPPA, which will definately result in fines and penalties (Avg $2,500)

QUESTION: Should the Landlord be responsible/accountable for the liability he created, by entering the rented office-space without notice...

What you have here is not a liability problem. The plain fact is that your landlord's coming and going constitutes trespassing. Advise him that he is not allowed to come and go when he pleases. If he continues, make a police complaint. Put up some video recorders on the doors. You will need them as evidence of his illegal entry.

It IS a liability issue

That's not allowed. Call the police first before you press charges. Maybe the zealous manager will cease.
