It has come to my attention that my landlord has been showing up unannounced multiple times. My neighbor came over about a week ago and informed me that she has seen my landlord multiple times out from of the house. I also caught her about a month ago sitting in front of my house which she didn't bother to mention until she saw me pull onto the street. Today I saw her out front with her husband and they proceeded to walk into my backyard and look around. Is this legal? It is starting to become harrassment. I understand wanting to make sure the house is still standing but none of this ever happens with any notice.

What does you lease say about inspections? To clarify, no one is entering your rental, correct?

[Threestep2]

Have you contacted your landlord?

[cjudd]

My lease mentions nothing of inspections or any other rights to permit this type of behavior. I have not contacted her on this issue since I am unsure as to whether or not I have any legal rights or if this is a legal act.

I am unsure as to whether she has already entered the property without my knowledge.

The statute clearly states that entry into the dwelling unit requires a 24 hour notice, but mentions nothing about giving notice outside of the actual dwelling.
