Let's see. If a man armed with a knife breaks into my apartment late at night and I manage to fight him off, does this mean that he is not violent? Will he get off with a simple charge of breaking and entering? Amazing!
Breaking and entering? Well, let's look at this from the defense attorney's point of view.
Breaking: ... The only reason that the door broke was that greedy small business carpenters used substandard wood in its construction. In fact, the suspect could have been injured on the sharded edges. You will be lucky if he doesn't sue you.
Entering: ... The only reason that the suspect entered is that hundreds of years ago your ancestors stole the land that your apartment is built on from his ancestors. Of course that was hundreds of years after they stole that same land from the Indians. And that was hundreds of years after the Indians stole that land from the Pueblo people. And that was hundreds of years after- ... but, silly me, I digress.
There are millions of them now in someone's apartment, and we certainly can't kick all of them out. The best thing to do, if they have been in your apartment for a certain length of time, is to have them pay a small fine, and then be allowed to apply for a certain percentage of your apartment. They can claim for ownership of your spare bedroom, and prove squatters' rights to your commode. (Sorry, couldn't help myself.)
This will, of course, mean that any apartment rules you set down will need to be posted also in Spanish, Columbian, and a variety of other languages, in order to satisfy the Kennedy-Sarbanes Fairness in Burglary act of 2006.
It seems to me that you will be lucky if you are allowed to stay. After all, they are merely breaking into millions of the kinds of apartments that Americans "...just don't seem to want to break into..."
Make things easy: leave the keys in the mailbox as you move out.
We'll put an extra plate on the table for you.
