Yes, but he only has the right to use it if there is reasonable evidence of an emergency like a fire, etc. Otherwise, reasonable notice MUST be given to the tenent. |

having a key is different from entry at his/her will. Check your lease agreement. |

the landlord does have the right to keys but has to ask permission to enter the rented property if occupied. |

I am not from New York; however, I am from Ontario and can tell you what Ontario law says. A landlord who is renting a room to you in a roominghouse has the right to have a key to your room; if they wish to enter, it must be under three conditions: (a) You are home and allow them to enter; (b) There is an emergency and they need to enter to resolve that emergency; and (c) They give you at least 24 hours' written notice. |

As a landlord living in PA, I believe the answer is no, unless there is a reason like a pipe leaking into what ever is below you or some other type of emergancy. Otherwise 24 hours notice is required. |

he has a right because it is his property, but he can not enter unless a valid reason is present |

This should have been in the lease agreement.
Check the lease laws of New York state. |

At least in California, unfortunately they do. However, they are required by law (unless it's an absolute emergency such as fire or flood) to give you 24 hours notice prior to entering your apartment but they do have the right of access to every room in your apartment. |

No, not every room. Except in the state of maine where by old English comon law, the landlord must have the key to every lock in the property, including the fair maiden's chastity belt. For reasons of "yee ole safe keeping". |

The landlord owns the property. He can access all of his property. |

I think so. It is still there house. That is why I know longer rent. my landlord came over while I wasn't home, I didn't like it, he had no reason. |

Yes, he/she is allowed access to any room attached to his/her property, unless it's an emergency, like fire or broken water pipe for example he/she cannot use it, he/she must attempt to contact you before entering any place you lease from him/her. |

yes, they have the right to all keys to all doors, but they can not enter while you are on a lease, unless you void the lease (nonpayment of rent) or if there may be an emergency. |

let's put it in this perspective: if you were a landlord and had suspicion that someone that is renting out a room was plotting to burn the building down, or perhaps kill you, would you want to find out for sure? i would. and a key would be helpful.. |
