Landlord Entry Rights Explained
Summary
In California, landlords must provide a written 24-hour notice before entering a rental unit, specifying the purpose and timing. Tenants can refuse entry if the notice is non-compliant, lacks details, or if theres harassment. Document all interactions and communicate concerns in writing. Civil Code Section 1954 governs these requirements, not State Law 459. If issues persist, consider seeking legal advice or mediation.Full Conversation
