He can call the cops if he thinks aliens are invading his body. Whether they do anything is another matter entirely.

He could call the police. The question is whether they would do anything.

A landlord has a duty to make the premises safe for its residents, so Yes.

Of course he can. Anyone has the right to call the cops. The question is, who will the cop believe?

I don't know what he will say to the police but it must be more than he doesn't like the guy. Unless he has a Stay Away Order or a Restraining Order or some other court ordered restriction, your friend should be able to come to visit you as long as he is within the law when he does so.

I don't have enough facts. Your boyfriend is not a resident of the community and if he is the cause of the problems, then, yes, the other tenant has every right to call the police.

Unless there is a restraining order or protective order of some type, you are allowed to have guests on your property, such as a leased apartment.

Trespassing in Illinois requires one of two things - a person being asked to leave the property by a resident or prior notice they are excluded from the building. In the case of the former a tenant can do it, in the later, the management usually does.

The person can call the cops and lie, people like that do it all the time. Be sure if the boyfriend comes around that there are witnesses.
