Scary Tenant Lands in Jail

landlord helpWhen a maintenance worker entered a tenant’s luxury apartment in Central Florida, he only intended to change the filter in the air conditioning unit.
 
But while there, he happened to notice a stack of photos at the foot of the tenant’s bed depicting child pornography.  He alerted the management, who entered the unit and took photographs of what the maintenance worker had found.
When the 50-year-old tenant came home, he found his apartment full of police officers, and admitted to owning the photos which he said he had collected over the past two decades, mostly from the Internet.
The tenant is being held without bail.
The management had passed out fliers to warn tenants that the maintenance workers would be entering apartments to service the air conditioning units.
It is not known whether this tenant had a prior criminal background.
