I would have gotten the police involved

How did these people get into the apartment?

Who had the keys to it?

Why didn't he call the police?

This story doesn't make much sense.

I would think a lawyer is appropriate, because someone had to have let them in.

Very simple. This couple will soon own the entire building, after they sue the landlord, who very likely had a secret key to their apartment. They should also sue Booking.com.

THIS is exactly why I am dead set against AirBnb and all similar companies. It is totally unfair to other building tenants or house neighbors to have totally unsupervised strangers having access to an adjacent apartment or house. These Airbnb etc. clients have no stake in the apartment, the building, or the neighborhood, trashing the place and disturbing others with noise. These permanent residents have a commitment to live peacefully and considerately with neighbors, so they behave in a responsible fashion. One night or short term renters through Airbnb etc. have no such social inhibition. For them, it's a big free for all. They think their rental entitles them to trash the place and not show any responsibility toward it or its contents.

A POX on Airbnb and all similar companies, encouraging bestial irresponsible behavior.

Around the world there are “uberlyftetc” fake-taxis and “airbnb” fake-hotels.

The restrictions to entry into the marketplace for legit taxis and hotels should be lifted and excessive taxes and fees that are being billed to customers of “one but not the ‘other new thing’” should be done away with (or billed across the board).

How on earth do you not immediately call the cops with 911 or the Montreal equivalent, calling in a home invasion. Then nothing that was stolen would have left the apartment. The landlord is talking baloney. They probably have a secret key with which they let in the partiers. I would have gone absolutely nuts if I came home and found strangers in my home, trashing it. Is telling them to leave without calling the police the libtard way of handling such an outrageous situation?

One loon there was heard screaming, "No Walls For Apartments Either!"

(Although this story doesn't match the song, for some reason this story reminded me of this old song on youtube...)

“Fake taxis and fake hotels”.

Speaking some serious truth there! Let’s not forget the fake services companies sell too. Through the looking glass, aren’t we?

Need to hire private security as well since police are not expected to protect the public...

“......unsupervised strangers having access.....”

Who exactly “supervises” anyone in your neighborhood? Or anywhere else.

Control. I must have control.........

By this, I meant that the landlord wasn't checking up on the trashing of the place, the larceny, or anything else.

Are you suggesting that the partiers broke in?

"Unfair?" That's your argument? I can rent my apartment out to whomever I want.

These Airbnb etc. clients have no stake in the apartment, the building, or the neighborhood, trashing the place and disturbing others with noise.

If they commit any crimes, then call the cops. Otherwise, MYOB.

These permanent residents have a commitment to live peacefully and considerately with neighbors [...]

Even long-term residents can be a pain in the *ss.

HOWEVER, if the area is zones as purely "residential," then operating a hostlery should be classified as "commercial," and hence prohibited there.

it was a home invasion. No “hotel” or “hostel” or “airBnB” permits you to drink the host’s alcohol for free.

(looking towards the theater door, Jerry notices one of the movie goers)

Jerry: Hey, isn’t that Willie, my dry-cleaner?

Elaine: Where?

Jerry: He just went in. You know, I think he was wearing my Hounds-Tooth jacket.

Elaine: What would he be doing wearing your jacket?

Jerry: It looked just like the jacket I brought in to be dry-cleaned. He complimented me on it.

Elaine: Are you sure?

...

(Jerry picks up several items of clothing from the booth, in their dry-cleaning bags — He is wearing his Hounds-Tooth jacket. George and Jerry walk over to the cash register to pay for lunch. At the register, Jerry reaches into his Hounds-Tooth jacket pocket, he pulls out a movie
stub)

Jerry: Oh, My god.

George: What?

Jerry: It’s a movie stub from the 9:30 show. George, I think Willie the dry-cleaner has been wearing my clothes.

...

New scene.
Exterior shot of the Dry Cleaners store front, then to the interior —
Jerry enters as a female customer is leaving the counter with her dry-cleaning .

Jerry: Hello, Willie.

Willie: Hey, Jerry. You dropping off?

Jerry: No, but ah, seen any good movies lately?

Willie: You came by to ask that?

Jerry: Yeah. Specifically 9:30 shows. Seen any good 9:30 shows at the Paragon, Willie?

Willie: What are you gettin at?

Jerry: I saw you the other night stepping out with my Hounds-Tooth jacket.

Willie: Jerry that’s a breach of the dry-cleaner’s code.

Jerry: You need a code to tell you not to wear peoples’ clothes

Willie: I wasn’t wearing your jacket. Jerry you’re imagining things. (he makes the circular motion next to his ears - the international symbol for “insane”)

Jerry: Yeahhh, am I imagining this? (he whips out the movie stub and holds it up to Willie) Found this little cutie in the pocket. (throws the stub on the counter)

Willie: Jerry.

Jerry: Yeah, Yeah. Well, now that we understand each other — I’ll be taking my business elsewhere. And I want my mother’s fur coat back too.

Willie: Jerry, come on.

Jerry: Now.

Willie: Now? (Willie looks off with his eyes to his left — he is thinking about his wife Donna)

(Shot of Donna wearing the fur coat, standing at a hot dog stand, eating a hot dog)

Jerry: Yeah. I want that coat. (Jerry opens his wallet, looking for the dry-cleaning ticket)

Willie: Well ... ahh. (apprehensively)

Jerry: Where’s that ticket? Oh, Kramer.

Willie: Wait, you, you mean to tell me you don’t have a ticket for the coat?

Jerry: No, not on me.

Willie: Well, I, I need to see that ticket.

Jerry: Why? I’ve got my cleaning before without a ticket.

Willie: Yeah, but this is different. Those fur storage warehouses are huge. You can’t, get anything without a number.

Jerry: All right, I’ll be back...
