Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Re: right of entry

Yes.

Ordinarily, "reasonable advance notice" must be given, and 24 hours is considered reasonable.

In a genuine emergency, less notice or no notice need be given.

Re: right of entry

Dear Inquirer:

Nothing herein shall create an attorney-client relationship, unless a written retainer agreement is executed by the attorney and client. This communication contains general information only. Nothing herein shall constitute an attorney-client communication nor legal advice. There likely are deadlines and time-limits associated with your case; you should contact an attorney of your choice for legal advice specific to your personal situation, at once.

If you haven't already done so, please visit my

web site at --

The site contains quite a bit of general information about California Family Law, Tenants' Rights, and Juvenile Dependencies, and EDD hearings and appeals, as well as information about me (education, experience, et cetera) and my office (location, hours, fees, policies).

NOW, IN RESPONSE TO YOUR INQUIRY --

Landlord may enter:

1.) To deal with an emergency;

2. When you give permission for the landlord to enter;

3. To make needed repairs (or assess the need for them); and

4. To show the property to prospective new tenants or purchasers.

For #3 and #4 entry must be during normal business hours (considered to be 9-5) and with reasonable notice. 24 hours is presumed to be reasonable notice. Less may be reasonable with good cause.
