That sounds like a fairly open/shut case of fraud/abuse if it can be proven.

At my last apartment my LL would only allow a single number per apartment... well I was sharing the apartment with someone else and I was sick of being the only person to get called. 30 seconds of Googling revealed the user manual for the intercom, and of course the default password of "5555" was still set on it...

I programmed both our lastnames and phone numbers to our apartment unit number. I did that in 2014 and I moved out in 2016.

To this day -- NINE YEARS AFTER MOVING OUT -- I am still getting calls whenever someone hits #25 on that intercom.

I should have done the 1-900 thing :D
