Renting a space is not easy as the landlord may be excessively interfering despite you being a perfect tenant. After a long day at work, all you want to do is spread your legs and binge-watch your fav web series, but the annoying landlord comes your way. You pay a hefty amount of rent, but privacy is not guaranteed. But not all the landlords are the same; some are non-troublemakers. Before renting a space, know your privileges and shortcomings as a tenant. For example, you have some legal privacy rights, and some things can trespass even though you do not wish to make them public. The rules and regulations are different in every place, so make sure to check the local authorities. Below is a list of powers belonging to that particular state. But the landlords can enter the site without your permission in the context of maintenance and emergency.

Erin Eberlin, the real estate expert, states these reasons for a landlord to enter your space:

Maintenance of the property
Sale or rental of the property
Health or Safety concerns
They have a court order.

In most states, the owner has to inform and give a written form to the tenant of their coming at least 24 to 48 hours in advance. In Florida, you will need to be informed by the landlord 12 hours before their arrival. But also, another clause states the owner can enter when necessary in an emergency. Emergencies also can be types, like breaking in because of a fire break, and replacing a broken glass should be with beforehand information.

But in some states, like Arkansas and Georgia, owners do not have to inform the renters of their visit. In most places, landlords can't just drop in; they must notify before coming. In addition, there are conditions on the days and times to visit, which varies state to state. The owners can drop in between 6:00 am and 9:00 pm from Monday to Friday, which excludes emergencies and special permissions. But the local laws are only in the office, so check your lease papers before signing. One thing that is promised is they cannot harass you.
