Absolutely. As long as they give you notice - which it sounds as though they have. Usually these checks take place every 12 months in rented property. The letting agents just want to satisfy themselves that you have not hideously redecorated the flat or trashed it or you are sub-letting any rooms! As long as you're not, then you should be fine. It's a mere formality. |

Yes its completely legal and I imagine you were advised of this when you took the tenancy on. |

The letter you received is the written notice required for them to enter the property. |

Yes it is as long as they have given you notice.
They are not allowed to just turn up and enter without telling you first!! |

Hi,
Yes they can enter, but only with the proper notice.
Some states require 24 to 48 hrs. Check with your local laws. |

If they have given you written notice, then yes they are legally able to enter the property.
When you sign your contract, you are signing a clause which gives them the right to do this as long as they give you written notice.
If you try in any way to prevent them entering, you are in breach of your contract and can be evicted if necessary. |

yes. they have given you notice and i bet if you read your tenancy agreement it will have a clause on there that you are to allow the landlord or its agents entry to the property to inspect it. the usual notice is at least 24 hrs. they do try and reach a suitable time for both tho. but it is legal. |

I'm going to add my 'Yes' to the already long list of yes's. The landlord or agent has given you the required letter of notice of entry. These checks are the norm and happen every 6 or 12 months depending on the type of tenancy.
If you would feel happier they didn't let themselves in then just make sure you are there when the visit takes place. . |

It is usually the Norm for your Landlord or letting agent to contact you and arrange to enter your premises. No would be the answer to your question. |

It will probably state in your rental agreement that the agent/landlord can enter the property, with 24 hours written notice, to check its condition etc. Check your tenancy agreement. |

Not without your permission. |

And what if something goes missing?
How about this:
Your landlord has a right to reasonable access to carry out repairs. What ‘reasonable access’ means depends on why your landlord needs to get access. For example, in an emergency, your landlord is entitled to immediate access to carry out any necessary work.
Your landlord also has a right to enter the property to inspect the state of repair or to empty a fuel slot meter, but they should always ask for your permission and should give you at least 24 hours notice.
If you are staying in lodgings where it is agreed that your landlord provides a room-cleaning service or where you share a room with other lodgers, your landlord can enter without permission.
Your landlord does not have a right to enter in any other circumstances unless they have a court order.
