The right extends to all of the rental premises, including balconies, yards and garages if these areas areincludedinthe rentalagreement.  \nLandlords are required to observe these tenant rights, but also may have legitimate reasons that require them to enter the tenant’srental property. California tries to balance these two interests by establishing specific rules definingthe limitson the landlord’s right torenter. These rules cannot be waived bycontraryterms ina lease or rental agreement.  \nA landlord may enter the rental property only for certain specific reasons:  \n􀁸 In the caseofan emergency such asa fire or broken waterpipe  \n􀁸 Tomake necessaryor agreedrepairsoralterationsorsupply necessaryoragreedservices  \n􀁸 To exhibit the premises to prospective tenants or purchasers or contractors  \n􀁸 Tomake a“pre-departure” inspection when the current tenant is moving or to inspect smoke detectors, or anannual inspection in government funded housing  \n􀁸 When it isevidentthatthe tenanthasabandoned thepremises  \n􀁸 Pursuant to a court order  \nA landlord must give 24 hours written notice to the tenant of his intent to enter, and may only enter during normal business hours. Notices must include date, approximate time, and purpose of entry. These limitations do not apply if:  \n􀂾 The tenantis present atthe time of entry and agrees to waive the requirements, or  \n􀂾 The tenant and landlord agree orally to an entry to make repairs or supply services and the entry occurs within 1 week of the agreement,or  \n􀂾 Thelandlord isresponding toanemergency, or  \n􀂾 The tenant has abandoned the premises, or  \n􀂾 The tenanthasbeenadvisedin writingwithinthe last120daysthat the propertyisforsale. Then, the  \nlandlord or agent need only give 24 hours oral notice of the date and actual time of entryto show the property. Written evidence of the entrymust be left inside the unit.  \nIf a landlord has followed the applicable rules for entry, the tenant does not have a right to refuse entry, or to dictate the time of entry. Also, a landlord has a right to require that the tenant provide keys to the unit, in order to safeguard the right to enter. However, the landlord may not abuse the right to enter or use it to harass the tenant.  \nFor assistance call Project Sentinel (408) 720-9888  \nProject Sentinel offers neutral counseling and dispute resolution services, but not legal advice or representation.","cbCailAkbDXDh6Gk","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailAkbDXDh6Gk","pdf",304662,"English","# Tenant privacy and quiet enjoyment\n## Limits on landlord entry\n## Authorized entry reasons\n## Notice requirements and exceptions\n## Tenant obligations and protections","[{\"question\":\"What does the tenant right to privacy include?\",\"answer\":\"It covers the tenant’s right to live with “quiet enjoyment” in the rental property, including balconies, yards, and garages if included in the rental agreement.\"},{\"question\":\"Under what reasons can a landlord enter a rental property?\",\"answer\":\"A landlord may enter for emergencies, necessary or agreed repairs and services, to show the premises to prospective tenants or purchasers or contractors, for certain inspections, when the tenant has abandoned the premises, or pursuant to a court order.\"},{\"question\":\"What notice must a landlord give before entering, and when are notice rules different?\",\"answer\":\"A landlord must give 24 hours written notice stating the date, approximate time, and purpose, and may enter only during normal business hours.
