Re: harrassment
If the landlord feels the actions of washing cloths inside the apartment puts the property at risk, the landlord may take action to have you cease this action. By washing cloth's indoors I presume you mean that you hang the cloth's indoors or some other action that would cause excessive moisture in the property. If so, the landlord can take action to stop your actions.
Re: harrassment
If the "system" your wife uses to do the laundry is NOT harming the future interest rights of the landlord at issue, and is not a condition of the rental lease, the landlord is completely out of line here. Further, the landlord has no express or implied authority to enter your dwelling home at will without proper cause, i.e. an emergency. Under the facts you have presented, you and/or your wife should sue the "pants" off the landlord at issue (pun intended:). If you would like a free consultation, contact us directly hereafter.
