    Default Can I Be Charged With Trespassing for Dropping Off a Letter

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: illinois
    Hi all
    I live in chicago.
    I recently had a dispute with my landlord. I broke the lease and moved out. Today I had to drop off a letter for the landlord. The intercom was still hooked up to my cell phone, I buzzed myself in and dropped the letter into his mailbox. Now I am really worried that he will claim unautjorized entry or something and attempt to charge me with tresspassing. There was no eviction, I left on my own. Can I be prosecuted?

    Can you be prosecuted? Of course.

    Will you be prosecuted? Impossible to predict, but unlikely.

    Even if the landlord reports it to the police, I doubt that the police will get involved.

    You did keep a copy of the letter I hope.
