How do I legally handle a tenant who refuses property inspections or legitimate access requests for repairs, and what are the implications if they continue to deny entry?
Quick Answer
Legally, landlords need to give 24 hours' written notice for access. If a tenant refuses, landlords cannot force entry. Persistent denial of legal access, especially for essential repairs, can eventually lead to seeking a court order.
