Does my landlord have a right to come into my home?
The law says when your landlord has a right to enter your home. If the landlord does not have a valid reason or they are not following the rules, they do not have a right to come into your home, and you do not have to let them in.
Your landlord has the right to come in for the following reasons, as long as they give you notice in writing 24 hours ahead of time and the time of entry is between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.:
- to do repairs or inspect your place to see if any repairs are needed
- to show your place to a possible buyer, insurer, or mortgage lender
- to let a real estate agent show your place to a possible buyer
- to have a property inspection done before making your building into a condominium
- to come into your place for any reasonable purpose listed in your rental agreement.
You can let your landlord in at other times and for other reasons but that is your choice.
