She has every right to do what she is doing albeit temporarily. You are not a landlord and if you are you too are violating harrassment laws. One question was enough, the landlord is harrassing them if he is not satisfied with the answer. He, the boyfriend or mother should call the police as it has now gone into harassment! That family has rights by law.
I am a landlord and once I got stuck managing in a low income area. The property belongs to the landlord, not you. He has every right to make sure nobody is living there who shouldn't be. If you're too nice you get taken advantage of.
Like I said, Landlords don't harass people just for the hell of it. It sounds like he's on top of your boyfriend's family because they give him reason to.
Call the police and get a restraining order against him or.... follow him to a dark alley and beat the breaks off him and then advise your boyfriend's family to move; if they aren't comfortable living somewhere that they are paying for they need to get out, also report the landlord to the proper authorities so he won't do this again to another person

I'm almost going to guarantee you there's some activity going on in there that shouldn't be. Either drugs are being dealt out of there, or a bunch of extra people are/were staying there that shouldn't be there. He would probably get rid of them if he could, but the property is probably in a low income area so he milks it while he can or maybe he's getting a Section 8 check from the government he doesn't want to lose.
Landlords want to make money, they don't want grief. Landlords are very nice when the rent is on time and you don't tear up their property.

I have had some great landlords, I'm glad I have not come across any horrible ones. Some are out there, I've heard the stories, landlords coming in watching cable and ordering nasty channels while the family is out for the day at work and school, come home to hardly any food because landlord decides he wants to make something to eat while watching his or her movies. There are horrible landlords out there just like there are horrible tenants out there.

That is true, but they are in the minority compared to the horrible tenants out there. I got stuck renting out my early childhood apartment (age 1-5) and next door duplex after my grandfather died. It was a working class neighborhood when I was a kid - now it's a bad neighborhood. I had some activity on one of the units ... she was either a prostitute or a drug dealer. She was giving me the pretty eyes wanting to trade sex for rent, but being a landlord I'd rather have the money.
At the end of the day, I couldn't make a go of it because I'm not enough of a penis (I can be, though). I sold it to a professional on a land contract, she couldn't make a go of it. Luckily, one of these property flippers came around and took it off my hands and promptly resold it for almost $100k more ... yes, thanks to the Great Recession, someone took it off of my hands.
My uncle has the same issues - he rents about a dozen houses. He's a nice guy until you give him reason not to be. Then he goes ape sh^t on you.
