He's currently facing three felonious charges and my landlord never made it clear that he didn't change my key when I moved in. My stolen items were returned because of confession. The individual noted that he had a key from prior tenant because he knew him. When he was attempting to come in my apt, it was evident he was not maintenance. Do I have a case against my landlord?

Go to Walmart and buy a new lock for ten bucks. Give one of the keys to your landlord. You can sue him for any damages that you incurred. It sounds like your property was returned. A lawsuit consists of liability and damages. You need both.
