It's also not legal for landlords to enter other people's homes at will simply because they own it.

- criley2 7y agoWith a 24 hour notice (or 48), yes it is legal. They can post notice and come by merely to inspect the state of the property.
- HEHENE 7y agoThis is not true in California. I had a landlord who wanted to enter all apartments to inspect for evidence of pets (someone had seen a cat inside the building) and I told them exactly where they could shove it. (Paraphrased from CA Civ Code 1954) A landlord may enter the dwelling unit only in the following cases: - In case of emergency. - To make necessary or agreed repairs, exhibit the property, or perform move in/out inspections. - When the tenant has abandoned or surrendered the premises. - Pursuant to court order.
- criley2 7y agoIf I were your landlord and you refused, I would sue for violating a no-pets clause in the lease to get a court order to allow the inspection. Or perhaps just initiate eviction proceedings for the lease violation. It is what it is.
