I'm staying in Punta Cana in a 2 bedroom unit that is a share. (I rented 1 bedroom, another person rented the other and we both share the common areas)

The manager lives in the apartment right next door.

I have been here a week and at least 5 times he has knocked, and when nobody answers, uses his key and opens the door and barges into the place I am renting.

This seems to be trespassing to me.

The manager claims it is not because he is not entering the room he is renting me, even though I paid to have access to the kitchen and living room as well.

Could someone please advise me of where I can find the laws regarding this behavior.

Thanks,

John

I'd change the locks. He has No right to walk into your apartment without your consent.

If that's how you feel then go to the fiscal office and ask the secretary

I don't know where this would be covered.

Any place I have lived owner/manager doesn't even have a key! You have a lease or contract? Change the locks.
