They should give you 24hr notice and you you are allowed to be present. They should still knock too!! |

Get them to check their lease. I'm pretty sure that under a standard lease he has the right to inspect the property but it has to be at a pre-arranged time. If there is a clause in their lease that allows him to pop in whenever he likes then I would be getting a new landlord. |

Yes, unfortunately he does have the right to check and inspect his property, but not not every week/month.
If the untidiness is not causing any harm to his property, then he has no right to comment on it!
If however, he is told to mind his own business about the untidiness, he might get snotty and try to find a reason to evict!!! |

No and is breaching his rights he should have prior agreement at least call land lords are notorious for making comments about your personal life like they own you as well as their property. |

USA - don't know
UK - Landlord has NO 'on demand' right of entry even if flat is occupied. Tenants have a right to privacy and may change locks to enforce this if necessary. Landlord could be accused of breaking and entering. It might be his property but it is someone else's home. He must give 'reasonable notice' of an inspection and his inspection should be no more than a statement of fixtures and fittings. So long as the flat is clean when tenants leave he does not need to comment on how his tenants live.
Lock the bugger out and tell him to obey the law. If he throws them out, he must give 2 months notice (once 6 months is up). May be worth getting a separate PROFESSIONAL report before leaving, would be about £80 - 100 for a small flat. Very useful in the event of a dispute. |

well.....do they have a lease, with detailed rules and clauses?
If not then you should think about getting one drawn up. My father is a landlord, he only inspects every quarter with all the tennants prior knowledge, afterall its only structural damage he is inspecting, surface rubble goes with the tennant.
I would voice your concerns to the landlord, perhaps request notice, one day in advance wouldnt kill him, as he seems a bit extreme.
Good luck |

he has to give 24 hours notice
law allows for landlords to make visits, but not so frequently as to be a pest |

How do Landlords get access to the property?
It is the tenant’s right not to be disturbed or harassed while living in the property. Landlords are not entitled to enter the tenant’s living area without permission as they have the right to use the property as their home.
Where necessary, landlords can get access to inspect the condition of the property. A convenient time should be agreed with the tenant, or landlords may write to the tenant giving at least 24 hours’ notice.
Landlords cannot let themselves into the property without first giving this prior notice. If the tenant refuses to let the landlord in, the landlord cannot force entry unless there is a fire or flood.
If the tenant changes the lock, landlords are not entitled to a key unless it says so in the contract. If you do change the landlords locks it is advisable to preserve the fixtures and fittings. However, the tenant should not unreasonably withhold access, and if he or she does, the landlord can apply to the county court for an injunction.
If the house is in multiple occupation, landlords are entitled to use a key to enter the shared areas of the property.
Please check with your local council's tenancy officer for further relevent info |

Yes in presence of proper notice or if there is anything in the rental/lease contract specifying that right. In case the landlord has to enter the premises when the tenant is not there, if not differently stated in the contract, he/she is required to ask for a written permission signed by the tenant every time. Naturally in case of emergency, as somebody already correctly pointed out, the rules change, but is required anyway the presence of a public officer (Police or Fire department) who verifies the real state of emergency before entering the premises. As far as the remarks made by the landlord about "untidyness"...that's totally out of line. I'm sure He/She received a security deposit and, unless he/she can prove that your grand-daughter's and her boyfriend's lifestyle is damaging the place in an irreversible way...He/She should just mind His/Her own business. I see an easily to prove case of harrassment here. May be your grand-daughter and her boyfriend would like to start looking for a different place to live and, once they find it, go after the actual landlord afterwards. That's all...See ya'... |

sadly as long as he owns the house he does. i would see if they could just talk it over with the landlord and work something out. that's pretty much the only option. |

I carried a Water melon!!
|
No i don't think they do, unless it was stated in the contract! they need to ask permission before entering the premises |

Yes, there will probably be something in their contract specifying timescale etc, but they do have to give notice. |

The landlord does have a right to inspect his property, but he has to give some notice before he can enter. Depending on where you are from, the courts will agree that it is either 24 or 48 hours notice prior to an inspection. The only time that the landlord can legally enter the premises without prior notice is during an emergency.
Read the landlord tenant act for your area and see what it says about inspections. |

The property belongs to the landlord and as such is entitled to have access to his property.
There should be no objection providing the landlord is courteous. What has the tenant got to hide.
The landlord is just as entitled to pass an opinion as does anyone else. |

I'd review the lease/rental agreement as already stated. But I would also review the "renter's rights" for your state. It would say whether or not a "landlord" can enter the premises without any notice. I live in WA state and I found a book with my state's renter's rights at Barnes and Nobles. But sad to say, my landlord's always gave me from a month to one week's notice for any inspections/ tours. |

The right to inspect is only for the purposes of the state of the property relating to health and safety. Otherwise it is unwarranted intrusion. |

He has to give written notice at least 24 hours in advance.
He is breaking the law!!! |

No, typically even if the lease call for the periodic inspection by the landlord there normally is some type of notice required unless in cases of emergency. I provided a website that may help answer your question further.
PS: i assumed tenants in perhaps the UK, (flat) so thats why I provided the laws for that area. God luck to you |

Typically is is required that the landlord give 24hrs notice. But, if he has a resonable suspicion that there is illegal activities occuring, he may notify the authorities, and enter in some jurisdictions.
If a landlord knocks and the renters let him gain access, he may enter at any reasonable time.
Also depends on lease contract, if neighbors are mounting complaints, etc etc. See local landlord regulations and city codes. |
