Re: landlords access
There is no statute stating the dates and times
a landlord must do repairs. One would need to review
your lease agreement. If nothing is mentioned in
the lease agreement, then the law provides you
must give them reasonable access and that the landlord
cannot breach the peace in forcing himself on to the
property. What is reasonable depends upon the nature
of the repair. You also need to be aware of what is
involved if the Landlord does act unreasonably. You
may find the Court's are not a good place to seek
redress for these types of problems. I strongly suggest
you work things out with the Landlord.
