Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Re: i got roaches

If they gave you proper notice, then yes, you must let them in. Further, if the roaches are in any way the basis for your defense to the complaint, then failing to let them in is like conceding that yes, there is a problem, but I won't let them come fix it. Until you are evicted, you are still living in the property under the terms of your lease and California law which allows the landlord reasonable access to your unit on proper notice.
