According to what I've read, the landlord may own the property, but has NO right to walk into his tenants' (private) courtyard unannounced.

According to what I've also read, 24 hours notice was to be given before showing up for any reason.
In addition, common courtesy would indicate that he would knock on the tenants' front door and not just walk in.

The tenants, by way of their lease, had every right to kick this landlord off their property.
The landlord, in this case, had no rights if what he did and the way he did it, according to what has been said in this thread, is 100% correct.

I won't say you are wrong but I will say you are dead wrong!
