The reasons are to check the home, make needed or agreed repairs or improvements, or give needed or agreed services. Another reason is to show the home to possible or actual buyers, lenders, tenants, workers, contractors, or others with a real interest.

The third is after a written notice to fix a repair, replacement, or cleaning problem you are responsible for. If you do not use best efforts within 14 days, or sooner in an emergency, your landlord can enter to do the work.

Your landlord may enter unlawfully, enter lawfully in an unreasonable way, or make repeated demands to enter that unreasonably harass you. If so, you can ask a court for an order to stop it happening again. Or you can end your lease. Either way, you can recover your actual money losses. Ending your lease is risky. Ask legal aid first.
