When can landlords enter a property?

Jun 9, 2010

Every state is different, and you should check the laws of your state.

However, here are a few general guidelines.

The tenant has a right to privacy.  A landlord CANNOT enter the property, unless

  • He or she gives, at least, 24 hour notice for something like an inspection, maintenance, etc.
  • It is impractical, such as a medical or property emergency.

Essentially, as a landlord, it is best to take the approach that many people are always  watching you.  If you aren’t sure, then assume that you need permission from the tenant, first.
