What is a Landlord's Notice to Enter?
From time to time, landlords need to enter their rental properties for routine maintenance, to make sure the properties are habitable, and to confirm that tenants are in compliance with the terms of their leases. In many states, landlords need to give their tenants prior notice by sending them a Landlord's Notice to Enter. Whatever your reason, creating a Notice to Enter is a smart way to protect yourself and your tenants.
Note that a Landlord's Notice to Enter is not required in most emergency situations, like flooding, fire, or when life or property are at risk.
This legal document is typically used by landlords who want to make small fixes, replace appliances, or paint the apartments they rent out. Property managers also need to use a Notice to Enter before accessing a rented property. Our Landlord's Notice to Enter includes the date and time of the entry and the reason for access. In most states, a landlord must notify a tenant at least 24 hours before entry.
