📅 Inspection Appointment Notice
Schedule Property Inspections With Proper Advance Notice
Required Before Entering a Tenant's Unit: Most states require 24–48 hours advance notice before entering a rental unit for non-emergency purposes. Entering without proper notice violates the tenant's right to quiet enjoyment and can expose you to liability. This notice documents the date, time, purpose, and method of delivery — keep a copy in the tenant's file.

An inspection appointment notice formally schedules entry into a tenant's unit for routine property inspections, maintenance, or showings. Most states require 24–48 hours advance written notice before non-emergency entry.
State Notice Requirements
Notice requirements vary by state. Most require 24 hours; some require 48 hours. A few states have no specific statutory requirement but courts apply a reasonableness standard. Check landlord entry laws by state for your jurisdiction's specific rules.
Emergency Entry
In genuine emergencies (fire, flood, gas leak, imminent danger), landlords may enter without notice. Document emergency entries with written notes immediately after. The 24-Hour Entry Notice is used for repair-specific entries; this form is better suited for inspections and showings.
