| MAY I ENTER THE TENANCY PREMISES AFTER THE LAWSUIT HAS BEEN FILED?
|
Generally, it is not recommended that you bother or disturb your tenant during the pendency of the litigation. However, you may legally enter the premises in situations of emergency; or upon proper advance 24 hour notice to your tenant for the purposes of making necessary or agreed repairs, decorations, alterations, or improvements to the premises; to provide necessary or agreed services to the tenancy premises; to exhibit the premises to prospective or actual purchasers, mortgagees, tenants, workmen or contractors; to inspect or enter the premises after the tenant has abandoned or surrendered possession of the premises; pursuant to a previous written agreement with the tenant; or pursuant to a court order. Please do not abuse this privilege and right. If you do, the tenant will have the right to claim harassment, emotional distress, breach of contract against you. The Law Office of Gary Link will provide you with a formal, written Notice of Intent to Enter for those situations that you deem reasonably necessary and legally appropriate. At certain times the Law Office will even specifically instruct you to enter the premises for the purpose of making an inspection. Again, before you act on your own, please seek our legal advice first |
