Check your state laws. In Illinois the landlord must give a 48 hours notice, then the landlord can enter whether you are there are not.

First, he has to have a reason, and he needs to give you that in writing.

Second, most states require 24 hour NOTICE. That's notice, not permission.

No he can not, unless he has good cause, like a broken water pipe, gas leak, etc. otherwise he needs to provide you a 24-48 hr. notice. If you can find another place I would move, I like my privacy...

Renters have many rights in many cases allowing the landlord to enter or Not is one of the biggest. Depending on how the contract reads and if your up to date with your rent the landlord may have the right to enter the apartment without notifying you. Check how the rental contract reads then ask why the landlord needs to get in all these times...

Depends on the contract that you sign. I know mine can. Also, the state laws.

13. TENANT'S RIGHT TO PRIVACY

Generally, a landlord may only enter a tenant’s unit for a “reasonable business purpose,” after making an effort to give the tenant reasonable notice. (54) If a landlord violates this law the tenant can take the landlord to court to break the lease, recover the damage deposit, and receive a civil penalty of up to $100 per violation. (55)

Examples of a reasonable business purpose include:

Showing the unit to prospective tenants. (56)
Showing the unit to a prospective buyer or insurance agent. (57)
Performing maintenance work. (58)
Showing the unit to state or local officials (i.e., fire, housing, health or building inspectors) inspecting the property. (59)
Checking on a tenant causing a disturbance within the unit. (60)
Checking on a tenant the landlord believes is violating the lease. (61)
Checking to see if a person is staying in the unit who has not signed the lease. (62)
Checking the unit when a tenant moves out. (63)
Performing housekeeping work in a senior housing unit. A senior housing unit is a building where 80 percent of the tenants are age 55 or older. (64)
A tenant’s right to prior notice may not be waived in any residential lease. (65) However, the landlord may enter the unit without giving prior notice in the following situations:

When immediate entry is necessary to prevent injury to property or people due to concerns over maintenance, building security or law enforcement. (66)
When immediate entry is necessary to determine a tenant’s safety. (67)
When immediate entry is necessary to comply with state law or local ordinance. (68)
If a landlord enters without giving prior notice and the tenant is not present, the landlord must give written notice to the tenant. (69) If the landlord violates this law, the tenant may recover up to $100 per violation in court. (70)

No, by law he must give you 24 hr notice with a reason. Unless it is an emergency. Then he can come in immediately. However he must let you know he entered and what the emergency was and if it was repaired or when it will be repaired.


Jojo
No it is not.

You have to be advise before your lanlord decides to enter your appartment. If it continues, you can call the building owners or file a formal complaint.

What he is doing is invading your privacy. It is unacceptable.

nope.Well defo in Scotland not 2 sure bout anywhere else but they have to give 2 days notice unless there is a major problem and they cant get a hold of u.My ex landlord came into my flat and i knew sher had been there coz she left a letter on my table but she also had a good look through my things.i ended my lease and moved out no-one is allowed to invade ur privacy!!!Think what he or she could be doing???its not right make a point of visiting ur local citizens advice and ask what your rights are i visited and was told they can be charged for entering your premises without permission!!!!!!!!!!!sooooooooo wrong!!!Tell him/her not to come back in and tell them u hav sought legal advice!!!!


open4one
No. It's called "trespassing". Even without a written lease, you have the right to exclusive possession of the property.
