Landlord Notice to Enter Property
Yes, the property is yours... but you'll still have to give your tenant a notice to enter dwelling unit in advance if you want to set foot on it. And yes, we have your free form right here.
What You Should Know Before Using Our Notice of Intent to Enter Property
The good news is that sending a notice of intent to enter premises is a
piece of cake...as long as you know your "when"s and "why"s.
When should you send the notice? If you dig into your local laws, you
should unearth one of the following: 24 hours in advance, 48 hours in
advance or unspecified. Even if your laws don't specify a time, you are
still often expected to give your tenant "reasonable" notice (hint: at
least 48 hours in advance).
What time should you enter the property? To play it safe, it's best to
enter the property during normal working hours when the tenant is in. If that
is not possible, then you can always arrange a date and time that is
both convenient for both parties.
What are valid reasons for entering the property? Even though you own
the place, you can't just waltz in just because you feel like it. Good,
valid reasons are: to inspect the property, to make
repairs/alterations/improvements, to show the property to potential
tenants/buyers/lenders, and of course to deal with emergencies (no advance
notice needed for emergencies).
*Make sure this notice of intent to enter dwelling unit complies with your local real estate laws before using it. If you have any doubts, you can ask a real estate lawyer online.
