It ain’t up to you, sonny

You: Hey, I’m dropping by tomorrow to inspect the place.

Tenant: I’m in Vegas for two weeks.  I don’t want anyone in the home when I’m not there.

* cracks knuckles *

Oh, my bad.

Guess you didn’t get the memo (or read the lease).

You see, I don’t need your permission to enter.

You get one thing: reasonable notice that I’m coming.

So yeah, I’ll be there tomorrow…

Working with a Tenant is good business.

And it spreads good vibes (which the world needs).

But don’t let a Tenant hold your house hostage. 

When you need in, give reasonable notice.

Then show up.
