Question: What legal options are available for a tenant when a landlord fails to provide adequate notices for maintenance entries?
Answer: In a case where a tenant received less than 24 hours' notice of a landlord's entry onto premises, the landlord may be in violation of jurisdictional or lease requirements. However, there may be emergency exceptions that would permit the landlord tendering less than 24 hour notice. It is always recommended to consult the lease for specifics regarding predetermined notice requirements.
