What's is Your Lease? Inspection, Signs and Re-Rental Issues
Lease Agreements: Landlord rights to Inspection of Rental Properties, Tenant Rights to Privacy, Signage and Re-Rental Issues:
1. The Landlord, owner or his/her representative has the right to inspect the rental property as he or she sees fit for the purpose of inspecting the premises. However, the tenant also has a right to expect a certain degree of privacy. The amount of notification required of a landlord to a tenant may be governed by local ordinances. Except in cases of emergency, it is often best for the landlord to give the tenant 24 hours notice that an the landlord will require entry to the occupied premises.
2. Similarly, the Landlord will require access to the rental property in order to show the property to prospective tenants when the current lease is near expiration. Again, it is courteous to notify the occupants of these upcoming showings and to try to minimize the disruption to the tenants as much as possible.
3. The Landlord or Owner may stipulate in the lease that the rental property is available for rental during the last months of the lease. The landlord may advertise the rental properties' availability and may place appropriate signage on the premises. The duration of this signage may be outlined in the lease ie during the last 30-120 days of the lease.
