Q.Is the landlord required to give me notice before entering my rental unit?
A.Yes in most cases. California law states that a landlord can enter a rental unit upon at least 24 hours advanced written notice during normal business hours (absent an emergency) and for the following reasons: (1) to address an emergency, (2) to make necessary or agreed-upon repairs, (3) to show the rental unit to prospective tenants, purchasers, or lenders; (4) to inspect the installation and maintenance of a waterbed (Civil Code Section 1940.5(f)); (5) to inspect, repair, and re-rent a unit after the tenant has moved out or has abandoned the rental unit; and (6) a court order permits the landlord to enter (Civil Code Section 1954(a)).
Advanced written notice of intent to enter is required unless: (1) there is an emergency; (2) the tenant has moved out or has abandoned the rental unit; or (3) the tenant is present and consents to the entry at the time of entry.
