Property Inspection Rights
What does it mean?
The landlord has the right to visit the apartment for necessary purposes — repairs, inspections, or viewings for sale. But this right isn't unlimited.
The landlord must give advance notice within reasonable time and visits should occur at a time reasonable for the tenant. You can't be forced to let the landlord in without notice, except in emergencies like water leaks or fire.
Key Points
- Landlord has right of access for necessary purposes
- Advance notice required within reasonable time
- Visits should be at reasonable times
- Emergencies (leaks, fire) are exceptions
- You can refuse unreasonable visits
Practical Tip
Cooperate with reasonable landlord requests. But you have the right to refuse unjustified or unreasonably timed visits. Document if the landlord visits without notice.
