Q. is my landlord allowed to come into my apartment every month for check-ins, showings, and "fixes"?

September 26, 2023

A: Your landlord is permitted to enter your unit for one of four reasons:

(1) when necessary to inspect the premises;

(2) to make necessary or agreed repairs, alterations, or improvements;

(3) to supply agreed services; or

(4) to exhibit the dwelling unit to prospective or actual purchasers, mortgagees, tenants, workers, or contractors.

Your landlord must provide 48 hours' notice before making entry, but can ask for permission to enter in less time than that, and the law requires that you not unreasonably withhold permission.
