yes, that is all an inspection should entail. and maybe changing the air filter for the furnace.
if the inspection is for something more specific(IE: water damage, electrical problems) then that will be stated(has to be) on the notice.

Plus checking the cookie jar for a meth lab is default behavior on all inspections.

Me too. I always replace the locks to rooms where maintenance will not need to go. And I don't tell anybody about it.
As far as demius's attitude. "It's their property, they can come in if the want." Fuck that. Paying rent makes it my property, my home, my privacy. That's why I change the locks. It's not like the landlord is doing me a favor by letting me stay at his place, and I have to act beholdent to him. Once I pay the rent it's not his place anymore. It's my place.

In my state they are required to give you 24 hours notice and if they don't, you can send them a certified letter demanding 24 hour notice and if they fail again you can easily sue them in small claims court for 100 or 1,000 dollars or something. Read up on your states landlord tenant laws.
Often the inspections are done by repairmen who really don't give a fuck.

That's all good as long as you do it tactfully as not to alienate the building manager and have him cook up a reason to evict you/ set that ass up.

I hope your lease does not say anything about that. On mine, if locks are changed/removed and management is not notified and given a key, you can be evicted. Further, your landlord still does own the property and building, you are just *leasing* the living space.
I also never said they can come in "whenever they want". Most places will give at least 24 hrs notice, but in some states, that is not legally required...and in some it is...know your laws and rights.
Finally, MasFina never said anything about them being "pushy". They are just doing their job and making sure everything is ok. He is bitching because he is doing illegal things and doesn't want them in there. That is his fault. They gave him notice and everything. It's his problem, not theirs.
I am curious though, MasFina, how did the inspection go?

Landlords can come in whenever the fuck they want especially in regards to illegal activity. If your landlord busts in your place and discovers a nice size grow room/lab of any sort and notifies police of his findings you think the cops are going to arrest him or you?
And remember civilians don't have to follow probable cause rules as do police.

I guess if you want to live like that it's up to you. I would never sign a lease that said the landlord can come in whenever the fuck he wants. I put up with enough of that surprise inspection bullshit when I was in the Navy.
If a landlord ever came into my apartment without first making an appointment, and I suffered damages of any kind from it, then I would have him arrested for trespassing. You can't rent out a property and still expect full access/use of that property. Access and use rights are transfered to the renter when he pays his rent.
Home is sacred, for renters and home owners alike. And BTW, it is very difficult for a landlord to evict a tenant who has a signed lease. It requires the order of a judge.

just buy a big rubbermaid tub or two thats not transparent at all. whenever he comes for inspections, just put all your shit inside it. he has no right to touch anything you own, or look inside anything of yours. moving is the best idea.

If a landlord opens the door of the house your leasing and finds a huge marijuana grow and then calls the police. The police won't say "this bust is not valid because it says on the lease that all inspections must be done with 24 hours notice"
That was my point. If the landlord has a key he can inspect whenever the fuck he wants, a contract is only a piece of paper with signatures not a magical forcefield around your house.
While legally binding if the landlord enters your place without properly following guidelines in the lease what does that do to the lease?? Just void the lease? You could sue for any damages occurred. But really what can you do?
Anyways fuck this shit, I am the landlord at my house.

I love that man---- kewl. That fool must have smoked some funky grass. I understand completely. It's fucked. I have a landlord that I shopped for that still gets in my space.
Around here it's slum lord stays away, and the good place landlords fuck with you. So I chose slum lord. I found a great, big, and cheap place... but still the slum lord even fucks with me.
I don't know how to deal with the shit. Buy a house - I guess... or keep shopping..
It sure is annoying though. I could tell my landlord to fuck off. Well, for the first couple of months i didn't want suspicion so I said come on in whenever.. and now I say fuck off.
He doesn't come around. He will always ask if needed, but you never know when a leak from a neighbors apartment or whatever will warrant an emergency entry so it doesn't really matter.
I can still be pretty freee with my shit because he is about as likely to recognise a shroom garden from anything in a box as the other rubbish I have used to camoflauge. He can walk right through it and not notice because it looks like everything else...
Packing boxes!! here, there.. He doesn't really look at them. And, I can be free...
Try it... camo with some packing boxes.. You can put all the water closets you want in a box with a tape hinge and some holes on top. LOL. Landlord il walk right by without a thought.
