Does A Landlord (prop. Manager) Have A Right To Come Into My Apt. With No Prior Notice To Show The Unit To An Investor?

Yes I'm sure you'll find somewhere in the lease agreement something to the effect....The property management has the right to enter the apartment at a reasonable hour of the day, for the lawful purpose of conducting business related to the operations of the property.

The first thing that you need to do is to look at your lease to see if the landlord specifically reserved the right. If he did, you?ve answered the question. Generally speaking, leases are hugely one sided affaris with the landlord reserving everything that can be reserved. So, I would guess that it there was any ambiguity in the law, the landlord put a provision in the lease reserving that right to himself.   I?ve looked over the headings to those sections of the NC statutes and they appear to not address the issue. But, caveat, I didn?t spend hours reading the entire thing. If you want to check them, go to:   http://www.ncleg.net/gascripts/Statutes/StatutesTOC.pl?Chapter=0042   My gut feelings is that the landlord has the right upon reasonable notice to visit the leased property for legitimate reasons. Clearly, checking up on the status and condition of the leased property is a legitimate purpose.   You didn?t say where you are in NC, but if you are in the Piedmont, Duke, UNC and Wake Forest all have law schools with legal clinics if you can?t afford a lawyer.   But, if you the landlord violated the lease, what are you going to do?   Sue? What are your damages?   Breach the lease and move out? Not a smart idea at all.   Unless there is more to this story, I?d just chalk it up and move on.   If you want to message me privately, I?ll be glad to hear your tale of woe, not that I can do anything about it except tell you what I think.
