When your landlord can come in

Your landlord has a right to enter for repairs and inspections, but has to warn you first.

The rules

  • Your landlord must give you 2 days' notice before entering for repairs, services, or inspections.
  • No notice is needed in a real emergency.
  • You can't unreasonably refuse entry when proper notice is given.
