Landlord's Right to Enter

In landlord-tenant law, a landlord generally has the right to enter a rental property for specific reasons, such as to perform repairs, inspect the unit, or show it to prospective tenants. However, they must usually provide reasonable notice (often 24 to 48 hours) to the tenant and can only enter at reasonable times. Emergencies, like a fire or a severe leak, are exceptions where immediate entry is allowed. This right is balanced with the tenant's right to privacy, ensuring that both parties respect each other's interests. State laws may vary, so it’s important to understand local regulations.
