Why do I pay $300 extra for my roommates boyfriend to live with us when he pays no rent. And she lies about him living here to my face.

You obviously cannot assert that without reading the terms of OP’s lease.

any lawyer would take it to court and argue it’s to check in their pets

If they even have pets. And I assume that OP has seen the bf use the key to get into the house without them being gone. And even if it is just for the pets, that’s fucked up for the roommate to not tell OP beforehand. It’s a shared house

Legally he might technically be correct but morally he is still quite in the wrong.

well morally they can do as they please if they're not breaking any rules, there's no feelings police fortunately. and he could be coming in for any multitude of legitimate reasons even with no pets he could be checking on something else in her room or on her herself.

there’s really no legal action especially if it’s not reported within 30 days because then he has squatter rights

Where did you get the idea that they have pets? Also most (not all) leases even in houses permit giving keys to non residents. Either way it’s a jerk thing to do, common sense is to agree on who gets a key and they are only allowed to use it for emergencies.

No she’s home, she gave him the access code to Enter the house so she doesn’t have to come or. Or he can come stay in her room when she is not there.

Every apartment I’ve ever rented at has in the lease not to duplicate keys and if you need a replacement to contact your landlord. I’d ask her if there’s a reason he has a key to the apartment and express your discomfort with it and if that doesn’t solve anything tell her you’ll talk to the landlord about changing the locks
