Illegal entry to my apartment. Do I say something to my landlord or just let it go? [ON]

Let's just get right to it.

I rent a one bedroom apartment by myself, I'm a young woman who lives alone.

The weather has been hot as hell lately but I'm broke AF so I use a minimal amount of AC and have just been spending my nights sleeping naked to try and stay cool.

A few days ago I was woken up by a knock on my front door.

I checked the time and it was 15/20 mins before I normally wake up and I wasn't expecting anyone so I decided to just ignore it.

Next thing I hear is my door being unlocked and then opened.

My bedroom door is open (I have cats) and the front door is a straight view from my room so I leaned forward to look out and see a random man standing in my living room.

I immediately panicked and started yelling at him while trying to cover myself asking who the fuck he was and why was he there. He looked almost as confused as I was. After screaming at him to get out and at least give me time to put clothes on, he finally went back outside.

I tossed on the nearest thing I had for clothing and went out to confront him further.

Turns out there was a fire inspection booked for that day and our Super didn't tell ANYONE.

In fact he KNEW I was home (small/close knit building and my car was still in the parking lot), but he let this man into my place regardless.j

According to my neighbor who was outside during the entire interaction, they didn't even give me the opportunity to open the door before entering my apartment..
