Sure, I can provide information about legal issues in Illinois. Could you please specify the nature of your legal issue (e.g., family law, landlord-tenant, criminal law)? This will help me give you the most relevant information.
yes, my mother owns a house in the town I live in. She allowed me and my ex-boyfriend to live there and we paid her rent. Two months ago, we broke up and I havent lived there since. My ex-boyfriend still does though. I have a key to the house as well. Can I go inside the house and get my belongings if I wanted to without him being there>

ok so if somebody is renting a house, the owner can just enter it whenever they want to?
In Georgia, landlords cannot enter a rented property whenever they want. They must provide "reasonable notice" before entering, usually at least * hours, unless it's an emergency.
To understand your situation better, is this about your mother's property or a different rental situation?

mother's
Thanks for clarifying. Since it's your mother's property, here's some general guidance:
- In Georgia, even if the property owner is your mother, she should ideally give reasonable notice before entering the rented property.
- Consent from the tenant (your ex-boyfriend) is generally expected unless it's an emergency situation.

what if he says no?
