They can't do "whatever they please".

The property owner assigned the right of unlimited access to you when they rented the property to you. It may be "their" house in title, but the majority of the access rights are yours.

The landlord retains the right of access for emergencies and repairs, but all other access rights are yours unless your lease says otherwise. That means that in any instance other than a true emergency or for repairs, only you and you alone gets to decide who comes in and when.

Look at your lease. If it says they have the right to show it before your lease is up, then you agreed to do this and must allow it.

If your lease does not give them this right, then you can say "no" and file trespassing charges against them if they come in anyway.


º¤ø¤º
Your landlord is not allowed in your house without getting your permission or without giving you notice, unless it's for repairs.

Your landlord can only come into your home at times that have been agreed on your tenancy agreement, or by giving reasonable notice.

There are special rules if your landlord needs to come in to do repairs or to inspect the condition of the property. They or someone acting on their behalf must give you at least 24 hours notice in writing that they intend to come round.

If you do not agree to having work done in the property, your landlord can go to court to ask the sheriff to grant a court order telling you to let them in.

If your landlord comes into your home without permission, this may constitute harassment.


**************************************...
The Landlord's Right to Enter Your Apartment or House
Can my Landlord Enter my House Anytime He/She Wants?

No. Most leases specify when the landlord may enter and why the landlord may enter. Usually the landlord may enter at reasonable times to make repairs or show the house to prospective renters or buyers. Reasonable times are between
8 AM and 7 PM. The landlord may enter at any time if there is an emergency such as a fire or water coming from your house.

If you don't have a lease or your lease does not specify that the landlord has the right to enter, the landlord may not enter without your permission unless there is an emergency. If you ask your landlord to make repairs, he/she may assume you have given permission to come into your house.
Does my Landlord Have to Tell Me When He/She Will Come to the House?

Check your lease. If the lease says the landlord will give you notice before entering, he/she has to tell you when he/she is coming. If the lease does not say the landlord has to give you notice before entering he/she must come at reasonable times, but does not have to tell you when he/she is coming. If you do not have a lease, the landlord must come at reasonable times, and must have your permission to enter.

Do I Have to Let my Landlord in Whenever He/She Comes to the Door?

No, unless this is written in your lease. You have the right to refuse to let the landlord in unless there is an emergency or he/she has made an appointment to come in.

I`m in Quebec so I can only tell you how it is here. Check your lease it should tell you there. He has the right to show the house but has to make an appointment with you and give 24 hrs. notice.

That is why there is a 30-day notice...so that the LL can use that time to market the property. He sounds a like reasonable person since he called you to let you know....just work out appropraite showing days/times with him.....


ropman1
yes, and they should give you 24 hours notice before showing the apartment.


Mark P.
Not in Texas. Look at this on your lease, it will say so specifically. In Texas, there may be a small fee for backing out of showings.

"Boston" above says that is what the 30 day period is for, marketing the property, this is only partially true, but this done not mean they can show it without your permission. And keep lawyers out of it, sheesh. He's gonna want $500 to look at your lease and make a phone call, you can do this yourself.

Im almost positive that they cant just put up a lockbox and let people enter w/o your permission. If they say so, they are probably lying. If they do that, tell them you will keep the place smelly and trashed, lol.

Just kidding. They can't do it, it is your choice.


KathyS
They just have you give you notice..thats all. He has every right to show the house..its his house.
