Laws
Landlords have the right to enter a rental unit by giving tenants at least 2 days’ notice for any of the following purposes:
- Inspections
- Repairs
- Maintenance
- Improvements
- Showing the unit to prospective tenants, buyers, or contractors
Unless there is an emergency, the landlord cannot demand entry for any other purpose and is legally prohibited from abusing the right of access or using it to harass the tenant.
Tenant’s Consent
The tenant cannot unreasonably refuse the landlord access to the property. Furthermore, with the tenant’s consent, the landlord may enter without providing a 2-day notice.
