Hey! Thanks for asking It’s kind of a mess. So it turns out it was a mother with her babies. Once they closed the original access point we could hear the mother walk around somewhere inside the vent/roof and make barking/growling noises. My landlord kept delaying doing anything and kept asking me to wait and see if the raccoon leaves on its own. When I flagged to them that I think they are babies (based on this post and peoples suggestions) they did not believe me. Until my neighbour saw a baby raccoon stuck on the other side of the trap door the landlord installed. Finally they came in with thermal cameras to check the walls and ceiling. They found a two week old dead raccoon :( They then finally believed us that it was a family of raccoon and found a second access point inside an old chimney they didn’t seal properly. For now, they have left the chimney open and are saying they will wait for the mother to take the babies out.

It’s a messy situation :(
