Here we go. The tenants union came through.

Unenforceable Clauses
Some clauses that appear in a lease or rental agreement are not expressly prohibited by the Landlord-Tenant Act, but are still unenforceable clauses that often appear in the form of leases and rental agreements. These include the following:
An agreement that your landlord can take your property if you get behind in your rent.
An agreement allowing your landlord to come into your dwelling at any time, without notice.
An agreement that you will pay for all damage to your place, regardless of whether it was your fault or not.
An agreement that if your landlord has to take you to court, you will pay double the amount the court decides you owe

And in case your wondering...

ENFORCEABLE - A right or obligation is enforceable if the party obligated can be forced or ordered to comply through a legal process.

So the room searches are not legal.
Case solved.
Thank you Aurora_Borealis and Tom Earp and others.
That was all I was really wondering.
I guess the other thing is that the alumni searched our (I was living in the house at the time) rooms already. We can technically sue them then. Not saying that anyone will. We just want them to not do gestapo searches while everyone is on SPring Break or something like that.
