I'm aware of that, however, there are also rights that come along with being a lease holding tenant, correct?These individuals returned to the property YEARS after they were no longer tenants to try to get information about me from this maintenance employee, specifically because they knew he had a romantic interest in me and had been rejected. I was NOT the only tenant he harassed, nor was I the only tenant these other people harassed.
As a tenant, you have lots of rights. None of them, however, stop former tenants from returning to the property and asking about you.

So, in your opinion, the right to quiet enjoyment of a rental property is NOT violated by people who do not live there claiming a tenant should be evicted and demanding personal information about them from an employee( who had been reported for sexual harassment) in order to further their own agenda? Again,maybe it isn't, and I'm not being snarky, I just do not see how this is NOT harassment/stalking. Keep on mind that the rental complex had been notified by myself and my attorney years ago when she was harassing me and I filed the ex parte.

"Right to quiet enjoyment" isn't part of the equation in this matter. "Right to quiet enjoyment" is a concept relating to landlord/tenant law.

"Quiet enjoyment refers to the right of an occupant of real property, particularly of a residence, to enjoy and use premises in peace and without interference. Quiet enjoyment is often an implied condition in a lease. "Quiet" is not restricted to an absence of noise; it has been interpreted as "uninterrupted". A tenant's remedies for breach of his/her quiet enjoyment are damages and injunction."

How exactly is this situation fundamentally different from, say ,refusing to stop harassing construction work other noise
on or near a tenants unit ? They could have easily had her treaspassed off the property .I was obviously never evicted and they repeatedly asked me to renew my lease,so cearly they acknowledged the false accusations from this individual were harassment.

Apartment management cannot prevent people from asking questions about tenants. What apartment management can, and should, do is limit the amount of information disclosed by them about any tenant, including providing anyone with the new addresses of tenants who no longer rent from them.

It is not the job of apartment managers to regulate the relationships between tenants, unless the relationships violate the terms and conditions of the leases.

The LL would likely have no duty to stop construction work or other noise near the unit and they also likely have no duty to stop construction work or other noise on the unit.

They could have easily had her treaspassed off the property .
No, they couldn't. In fact, the court didn't even believe that her behavior rose to such a dire level.
I was obviously never evicted and they repeatedly asked me to renew my lease,so cearly they acknowledged the false accusations from this individual were harassment.
That is not acknowledgment at all.

Harassment of a tenant by an individual or individuals who are not tenants is not a lease violation and is not something generally handled by landlords or property management. It is a personal dispute between those involved.

For continuing harassment, you can call the police. And you can attempt once again to get a restraining order if the facts support the need for one (and I am not sure they do).

What it sounds like is that you ran across some unpleasant people who, for whatever reason, have decided to pester you. If you are not afraid for your safety, it can be best to ignore them until they go away.

Good luck.
