Free Mississippi Notice to Enter

This Mississippi Notice to Enter gives a tenant clear written notice before the landlord enters the rental unit. Mississippi has no statute setting a notice period – the Residential Landlord and Tenant Act is silent on entry – so access is governed by the lease and the covenant of quiet enjoyment; absent a lease term, give at least 24 hours of reasonable notice as a courtesy. See our tenant screening laws by state hub and how to screen tenants guide to keep your Mississippi tenancies documented from the start.

Complete the fields below to generate a Mississippi Notice to Enter. Mississippi sets no statutory notice period – the Landlord and Tenant Act is silent on entry – so give reasonable written notice as a courtesy, commonly 24 hours, at reasonable hours, and deliver it per the lease. The form records the date, time window, purpose, the persons entering, and how the notice is delivered.

Watch: Mississippi Notice to Enter explained

▶ Watch overview

Mississippi is one of the states with no statute governing landlord entry. The Mississippi Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (Miss. Code Ann. 89-8-1 et seq.) is the state’s rental statute, but it is silent on entry – it contains no section setting a notice period, no list of permitted purposes, and no reasonable-hours rule, the way many other states do. Two sections are commonly miscited: Section 89-8-3 is the “Application of chapter” provision – it sets when the Act applies and preserves remedies at law or in equity, and it is not the definitions section (that is 89-8-7) and not an entry rule – while Section 89-8-13 governs the right to terminate a tenancy for breach, not entry. No section of Chapter 89-8 governs entry, so any citation to an 89-8 subsection as an “entry-notice rule” is wrong. That gap makes the lease the controlling document: whatever the entry clause says about notice and access is what binds both sides, read against the tenant’s common-law right to quiet enjoyment.

Because the Act is silent, the lease does the work a statute would do elsewhere. Most Mississippi leases include a right-of-entry clause, and a well-drafted one states the notice period – often 24 hours – the permitted reasons for entry, and the hours during which the landlord may come in. If the lease grants that right and the landlord follows its terms, entry is authorized. If the lease grants no entry right at all, a tenant in possession may generally refuse entry except in a genuine emergency, because the tenant who signed for possession is entitled to control who comes into the home. The background limit on every entry is the common-law covenant of quiet enjoyment, which in Mississippi backstops conduct severe enough to drive the tenant out and, through the savings language in Sections 89-8-3 and 89-8-13, keeps the full set of common-law remedies on the table.

The one clear exception is a genuine emergency. If there is a fire, a flood, a gas leak, or another immediate threat to life or property, a Mississippi landlord may enter at once without advance notice under the lease and the common law – never “as permitted by Mississippi statute,” because no such statute exists; document the emergency and what was done. For every routine entry, this form gives the tenant clear written notice that satisfies a reasonable-notice lease clause and leaves you a dated record that you provided it. The sections that follow walk through the purposes that justify entry, the timing that keeps an entry reasonable, how the emergency exception works, how showings and abandonment are handled, what the lease can and cannot do, and – most important for a landlord managing risk – exactly what remedies a Mississippi tenant has if entry goes wrong.

Even though Mississippi does not list permitted purposes by statute, a workable list comes straight from the kinds of property-management tasks that leases and courts treat as legitimate. The unifying test is simple: the landlord must have a real, property-management reason to be inside the unit, not a pretext for checking up on or pressuring the tenant. When the reason is genuine and the notice is reasonable, entry is rarely controversial.

Repairs and maintenance are the most common reason a landlord needs access. This includes responding to a tenant’s repair request, performing scheduled upkeep, and addressing the conditions a landlord must keep in repair under the lease and the obligations in Section 89-8-23 – which is a duty provision, not an independent right to enter at will. Inspections – annual condition checks, move-out walkthroughs, and pre-renewal assessments – are equally routine, and a clear notice describing the inspection keeps it from feeling intrusive.

Showings are a frequent flashpoint. A landlord may need to show the unit to a prospective tenant near the end of a lease, to a prospective buyer if the property is on the market, or to a lender or appraiser during a refinance. Each of these is a legitimate purpose, but each also brings strangers into the tenant’s home, so generous notice and reasonable scheduling matter most here.

Building services and safety work round out the list: pest control treatment, servicing heating and cooling systems, and testing smoke and carbon-monoxide detectors. Safety-device testing in particular protects both sides, and most tenants welcome it when it is scheduled with notice. Across all of these purposes, the form lets the landlord state the exact reason, describe the work, and list everyone who will enter, which is the single most effective way to turn a potentially contested entry into a routine, documented visit.

It is worth being explicit about what is not a legitimate purpose, because that is where landlords get into trouble. Entering to check whether the tenant is keeping the unit “well enough” without a maintenance reason, to look for lease violations on a hunch, to confront a tenant over a dispute, or simply to remind a tenant who is in control are not property-management purposes; they are pretextual entries that look like harassment and that a court will treat as unauthorized. Writing the purpose on a notice is itself a useful filter: if a landlord cannot articulate a concrete, legitimate reason on paper, that is a strong signal the entry should not happen. “Inspect HVAC condenser and replace filter” is defensible; “check on tenant” is not.

Some purposes also carry their own follow-on courtesies. A repair that will shut off water or power should say so; a pest-control treatment that requires the tenant to clear cabinets or keep pets out should spell out those steps in advance; and a move-out inspection runs smoother when the tenant is invited to attend, because a jointly observed walkthrough heads off later disputes about condition. Tying each legitimate purpose to its practical logistics, right in the notice, is what separates a professional operation from one that generates friction.

With no statutory notice period, the word that does the real work in Mississippi is reasonable. A landlord who gives reasonable notice and enters at reasonable hours for a legitimate purpose is on solid ground; a landlord who gives little or no notice, or who shows up at odd hours, invites a dispute even if the underlying reason for entry was valid. Reasonableness is judged on the facts, but a few practical benchmarks make it concrete.

On notice, 24 hours of advance, written notice is the widely accepted courtesy standard, and many Mississippi leases and managers use 24 to 48 hours. It is enough time for a tenant to prepare, secure pets, or raise a scheduling conflict, while still letting a landlord manage the property efficiently. Giving notice in writing – rather than a verbal heads-up – matters because it creates the dated record that proves the notice was reasonable if the entry is ever questioned. That window is courtesy, not a statutory deadline, but it is the figure a court is most likely to treat as obviously reasonable.

On hours, “reasonable” generally means normal daytime business hours, commonly understood as roughly 8am to 6pm on weekdays. Entry early in the morning, late at night, or on weekends is harder to defend as reasonable unless the tenant has agreed to it or an emergency requires it. Matching the entry to the tenant’s schedule where practical, and offering a window rather than a single rigid time, both reinforce that the landlord is acting reasonably.

Reasonableness also has a frequency dimension. A single, well-noticed entry to make a repair is plainly reasonable, but a pattern of frequent entries, even with notice, can cross into harassment, because at some point the sheer volume of intrusions interferes with the tenant’s possession regardless of how politely each is announced. The safe practice is to consolidate work, enter no more often than the task genuinely requires, and document each visit.

How the notice is delivered feeds directly into whether it is reasonable. A notice the tenant never actually receives gives the landlord little protection, even if it was technically “sent.” Personal delivery is the strongest method; posting on the door paired with an email or text is a practical and widely used approach; email or text alone is reasonable where the lease allows electronic notice and the tenant uses that channel; and certified mail creates an excellent paper trail but is slow. Whatever the method, choose the channel most likely to reach this particular tenant, and keep proof that you used it.

Reasonable notice ultimately protects the landlord because it shifts the burden: once fair notice for a legitimate purpose is on the record, a tenant who stonewalls a properly noticed, legitimate entry is obstructing authorized access rather than exercising a right, and the documented trail of notices is exactly what the landlord would rely on if that obstruction ever had to be addressed.

The clearest situation in which a Mississippi landlord may enter without advance notice is a genuine emergency. A fire, a flood, a gas leak, a burst pipe, or any other immediate threat to life, safety, or the property itself justifies immediate entry, because waiting to give notice could turn a containable problem into a catastrophe. The emergency exception is not a loophole for routine access; it applies only when prompt entry is genuinely necessary to prevent or limit harm.

It is important to describe this exception accurately. The emergency right of entry in Mississippi is grounded in the lease and the common law, not in any Mississippi statute, and a notice or template should never claim that immediate emergency entry is permitted “as allowed by Mississippi statute,” because no such statute exists. The right flows from the basic principle that a possessor of property may act to prevent imminent harm and from the entry terms most leases include. Stating it as a statutory power is both inaccurate and the kind of overstatement that undermines a landlord’s credibility if a dispute reaches a courtroom.

Because an emergency entry happens without the usual notice, documentation is the landlord’s protection. Record the date and time, the nature of the emergency, what was found on entering, what was done, and who entered, and keep any photographs. Notify the tenant promptly afterward, explaining what happened and why immediate entry was necessary. Good after-the-fact documentation converts an unannounced entry from a potential trespass claim into an obviously justified emergency response.

It helps to draw a bright line between a true emergency and mere urgency. A burst pipe actively flooding the unit, a gas smell, a fire alarm, or a report of a medical crisis behind a locked door are emergencies that justify immediate entry, because every minute of delay risks serious harm to people or the building. A lease violation the landlord is eager to confront, a repair the tenant has been slow to schedule, or a desire to get ahead of a deadline are urgent to the landlord but are not emergencies, and using the emergency label to cover them is exactly the kind of overreach that turns an entry into a trespass. The honest test is whether waiting the ordinary notice period would risk real harm; if it would not, it is not an emergency, and the landlord should give notice.

Scope matters too. An emergency justifies the entry needed to address the emergency, not a general search of the unit: a landlord who enters to stop a flood should deal with the water and leave, not inspect the tenant’s belongings or look for unconnected problems. An emergency entry that balloons into a broader search can lose its protection and revert to an ordinary unauthorized entry, so keeping the response proportionate – in and out, focused on the hazard, documented – is what keeps the exception clean.

Showings deserve their own treatment because they put the landlord’s legitimate business needs in the sharpest tension with the tenant’s right to be left in peaceful possession. When a lease is ending, the landlord may reasonably need to show the unit to prospective tenants so the unit does not sit vacant. When the property is for sale, the landlord may need to show it to prospective buyers, and a buyer’s lender or appraiser may need access as well. All of these are legitimate purposes, but every one of them brings outsiders into an occupied home.

The protection for both sides is, again, the lease plus reasonable notice. A well-drafted Mississippi lease will say whether and how the landlord may conduct showings near the end of the term, and a landlord should follow that clause to the letter. Where the lease addresses showings, deviating from its terms is a contract breach; where it is silent, the landlord should give the same reasonable, written notice that applies to any other entry and should be especially generous, because showings tend to cluster and to involve strangers.

Practical courtesy goes a long way during a sale or re-rental: group showings into defined windows, give the tenant as much lead time as possible, and offer a way to reschedule. A tenant who feels respected during a marketing period is far less likely to refuse access or claim harassment, and the landlord keeps the dated notices that show every showing was properly announced.

Entry rules assume the tenant is still in possession. When a tenant abandons the unit or surrenders it, the possessory interest that entry law protects begins to dissolve, and the landlord’s ability to enter changes. Abandonment, however, is a conclusion a landlord should reach carefully, because acting on a mistaken belief that a tenant has left can itself create liability.

Abandonment generally requires both that the tenant has actually left the premises and that the tenant intends not to return – shown by facts such as removed belongings, disconnected utilities, unpaid rent, and no response to contact. A tenant who is merely traveling, hospitalized, or temporarily away has not abandoned the unit, and treating an occupied home as abandoned can expose the landlord to a trespass or wrongful-eviction claim. Surrender is the cleaner case: the tenant affirmatively gives the unit back, by returning keys or by agreement, which ends the tenancy and the tenant’s possessory rights.

The safe approach is to confirm abandonment before relying on it. Document the indicators, attempt to reach the tenant, and, when the situation is genuinely ambiguous, use the legal process rather than self-help – Mississippi channels disputed possession through the courts by forcible entry and detainer under Section 89-7-1 and following, and it bars self-help lockouts and utility shutoffs. Until the landlord is confident the tenant has surrendered or abandoned possession, the ordinary entry rules – lease authority plus reasonable notice, with emergencies excepted – continue to apply, and a notice of entry remains the right tool for any access the landlord needs.

Because Mississippi leaves entry to the agreement of the parties, the lease can shape entry rights in ways a statute-based state cannot. The lease is the controlling document, and within broad limits the parties can define the notice period, the permitted purposes, the hours of entry, and the method of delivering notice. A landlord and tenant can agree to more notice than the 24-hour courtesy or, in principle, to less, and they can spell out exactly how showings, inspections, and emergencies are handled.

A tenant’s consent also matters in real time. Even where the lease is silent or restrictive, a tenant who agrees to a specific entry has waived any objection to that entry. The cleanest practice is to memorialize consent – a text or email confirming the date, time, and purpose – so that an agreed-upon visit cannot later be recast as an intrusion. Standing consent for routine maintenance can be built into the lease, and one-off consent can be documented as it is given.

There is a limit, however, that landlords should not lose sight of. A lease clause that purports to let the landlord enter at any time without notice may be enforceable on its face as a matter of contract, but it cannot be used as a shield for harassment. A landlord who relies on a broad no-notice clause to enter repeatedly, at unreasonable hours, or to pressure a tenant is not merely exercising a contract right; that conduct can support a common-law trespass claim, an intrusion-upon-seclusion claim where it is highly offensive and done in bad faith, or – if it makes the home untenantable and the tenant vacates – a constructive-eviction claim, regardless of what the clause says. In other words, a permissive clause expands the landlord’s ordinary access; it does not license abuse.

For that reason, the smarter drafting choice is usually a clause that is clear rather than maximal. A clause that grants entry on 24 hours’ notice, for stated purposes, at reasonable hours, with an emergency carve-out, gives the landlord everything a normal operation needs while signaling good faith to a court. An “any time, no notice” clause buys very little real-world freedom – the harassment limit caps it anyway – and it reads badly if the tenancy turns adversarial. Waiver also runs in both directions: a landlord who has consistently honored 24-hour notice sets an expectation a sudden no-notice entry will violate, and a tenant who has freely allowed routine access cannot easily recast a long-accepted practice as a trespass – so be consistent, and put the standing rules in the lease and any one-off variation in a quick text or email.

This is the heart of Mississippi entry law and the part most often gotten wrong. Because Mississippi has no entry statute, a tenant’s remedies for an unlawful or excessive entry come from the common law and from contract, and they are measured by actual damages, not by any statutory entry penalty. The savings clauses in Sections 89-8-3 and 89-8-13 – each preserving “any other remedy at law or in equity not prohibited by this chapter” – are what keep these theories alive, but they add no entry-specific fine. A landlord who understands these remedies will see immediately why a clear lease clause and reasonable notice are not just good manners but genuine risk management. The remedies below are presented roughly in the order a Mississippi tenant in possession would consider them, each with its real Mississippi limits.

Common-law trespass – the primary theory

Trespass is the main remedy. A landlord who enters a unit the tenant lawfully possesses without a contractual right of reentry and without legal process can be liable to the tenant in trespass, because possession – not title – founds a trespass action, which is exactly why a tenant, who holds possession, can sue a landlord, who holds title. Mississippi has no statute or reported case that squarely holds “landlord over-entry equals trespass,” so the theory rests on that general possession rule applied to the rental setting. The remedy is the tenant’s actual damages flowing from the unauthorized entry, and it is the everyday claim because it does not require proving the heightened elements of the privacy tort.

Intrusion upon seclusion – a recognized but demanding privacy tort

For entries that are intentional, highly offensive, and usually repeated, a tenant may also have a privacy claim for intrusion upon seclusion. Mississippi clearly recognizes it: in Candebat v. Flanagan, 487 So.2d 207 (Miss. 1986), the Supreme Court adopted invasion of privacy as a complex of four sub-torts – intrusion upon seclusion, appropriation, public disclosure of private facts, and false light – which is broader than the privacy law of some states. But the intrusion branch is demanding. Plaxico v. Michael, 735 So.2d 1036 (Miss. 1999), requires a substantial interference with seclusion that would be highly offensive to the ordinary, reasonable person, plus some bad faith or utterly reckless prying, and on its facts the court held that even photographing a person through a window did not clear that bar. So the privacy theory exists in Mississippi for a genuinely egregious, bad-faith entry, and it can coexist with a trespass claim from the same entries – but it is not a remedy for an ordinary over-entry.

Constructive eviction

If a landlord’s entry conduct goes so far that it renders the premises untenantable, the tenant may treat it as a constructive eviction flowing from a breach of the implied covenant of quiet enjoyment. The critical condition is that the tenant must actually vacate the premises within a reasonable time to claim it; a tenant who stays put is treated as having waived the constructive eviction. A tenant who does vacate within a reasonable time is relieved of the obligation to pay further rent and may raise the constructive eviction as a defense to a suit for rent. Constructive eviction is therefore a powerful but demanding remedy: it ends the rent obligation, but only for a tenant willing to leave the home, which makes it a poor fit for the common case of a tenant who simply wants the intrusions to stop.

Constructive eviction often arrives bundled with other theories. The same course of conduct that makes a home untenantable – repeated unannounced entries, intrusions that destroy any sense of privacy, or entries that interfere with the tenant’s basic use of the unit – can simultaneously be a trespass and, if highly offensive and done in bad faith, a privacy intrusion. The lesson for a landlord is that an escalating pattern of bad entries can ripen several claims at once, and the constructive-eviction branch is the one that severs the rent stream entirely – but only if the tenant leaves.

Breach of the lease

Where the lease sets the terms of entry – the notice period, the permitted purposes, the hours – a landlord who violates those terms has simply breached the contract. This is the most straightforward theory of all, because it does not require proving a tort; it requires only showing that the lease said one thing about entry and the landlord did another. A tenant can raise the breach as a defense in other disputes and can pursue contract damages that flow from it. The flip side favors the landlord: a lease that clearly authorizes entry, on stated notice and for stated purposes, is also the landlord’s authority to enter, so following that clause to the letter turns the contract from a tenant’s sword into the landlord’s shield. That is why a few precise sentences in the right-of-entry clause pay for themselves many times over.

Injunctive relief

When the problem is not a single past entry but a pattern of continuing or threatened unlawful entries, a tenant in possession can ask a court of equity for an injunction to stop them under the general equity rules. There is no on-point Mississippi entry case, so the request is framed generally: equity may restrain a continuing or repeated trespass or intrusion where money damages after the fact cannot fully cure the harm, and a stream of future intrusions is precisely that kind of ongoing harm. An injunction does not undo past entries, but it can put a stop to a landlord who keeps coming back, which is often what a tenant most needs – and the savings clauses in Sections 89-8-3 and 89-8-13 expressly leave equitable remedies available.

One more limit cuts the other way, against the landlord: Mississippi bars self-help eviction. A landlord cannot change the locks, shut off utilities, or remove a tenant to force access or end a tenancy over an access dispute; possession is decided by the courts through forcible entry and detainer under Section 89-7-1 and following, with the eviction procedure in Section 89-7-27 and the sections after it. Using a lockout or utility shutoff as leverage over entry is itself unlawful, so a landlord facing a tenant who wrongly refuses a properly noticed, legitimate entry should rely on documentation and, where necessary, legal process – never self-help.

Mississippi entry law is not found in a single code section. It is assembled from the lease, a handful of common-law torts, and a few statutes that frame the landlord-tenant relationship and the remedies that survive it. The table below collects the authorities that actually bear on entry and the consequences of getting it wrong, so a landlord can see at a glance that the real exposure is common-law and contractual, not a statutory entry penalty – and that several authorities are framing provisions or off-point sections that should not be overstated as entry rules.

Read together, these authorities tell a consistent story. Mississippi chose not to legislate landlord entry, so it left the subject to the agreement the parties signed and to the old tort and equity rules that protect anyone in lawful possession of property. The savings clauses in Sections 89-8-3 and 89-8-13 are the textual bridge: they expressly preserve every right and remedy at law or in equity that the chapter does not prohibit, which is precisely how the common-law trespass, privacy, constructive-eviction, and injunction theories remain available even though the Act says nothing about entry. A landlord who drafts a clear entry clause, gives reasonable notice, and confines entry to legitimate purposes is operating squarely inside every one of these authorities; a landlord who enters without a contractual right, at unreasonable hours, or to pressure a tenant steps outside the lease and into the reach of trespass, the privacy tort, and – where the conduct is continuing – an injunction.

A word on using this reference responsibly. There is no Mississippi statute or reported entry case that squarely holds “landlord over-entry equals trespass,” so the trespass theory for an over-entry rests on the general rule that a possessor may sue for an unauthorized entry, applied to the landlord-tenant setting. The privacy tort is real in Mississippi but deliberately demanding: Candebat recognized intrusion upon seclusion, and Plaxico shows how high the “highly offensive, bad-faith or reckless prying” bar sits in practice. Constructive eviction requires the tenant to actually vacate, which is why it is a poor fit for the common tenant who stays put. None of this should be inflated into a Mississippi entry statute or a statutory entry penalty, because none exists – and any template that fills those gaps with an invented 89-8 “entry section” is making the page wrong, not stronger.

A Mississippi Notice to Enter is the written notice a landlord or property manager gives a tenant before entering the rental unit. Mississippi has not enacted a landlord-entry statute – the Mississippi Residential Landlord and Tenant Act exists, but it is silent on entry – so there is no state-law notice period to satisfy. This form is built for that lease-governed reality. Rather than cite a statute that does not exist, it gives you a clean, dated record of the one thing Mississippi law actually rewards: reasonable notice for a legitimate purpose, read against the tenant’s common-law right to quiet enjoyment.

What the form captures is the practical core of a defensible entry – the date and the time window, the specific purpose and a description of the work, exactly who will enter, whether the tenant’s presence is requested or required, how pets should be handled, and the delivery method with a rescheduling contact. Filling those fields turns an informal heads-up into documentation that shows you acted reasonably and gave fair warning, which in a no-statute state is what decides a dispute.

The deeper law – which sections of the Act do what, and the common-law remedies a Mississippi tenant actually has – sits in the sections above. You do not need to master all of it to use this form well: keep entries lease-compliant, give 24 hours of written notice at reasonable hours, document each one, and pair that discipline with sound tenant screening and a documented screening process so your Mississippi tenancies are well-run from application through move-out.

• Mississippi has no statute setting a notice period – the Residential Landlord and Tenant Act is silent on entry, so entry is lease-governed and backstopped by the common law.
• No section of Miss. Code Ann. 89-8 governs entry – do not treat any 89-8 subsection as an entry-notice rule.
• Section 89-8-3 is the application-of-chapter and savings provision (and the definitions are in 89-8-7, not 89-8-3) – it is not an entry rule.
• Section 89-8-13 is the right-to-terminate-for-breach provision, not an entry penalty; it preserves any remedy at law or in equity.
• Follow the lease’s right-of-entry clause for notice period, permitted purposes, and hours.
• Where the lease is silent, give at least 24 hours of written notice as a courtesy (courtesy, not a statutory mandate).
• Enter at reasonable hours (commonly 8am-6pm) for a legitimate, property-management purpose.
• If the lease grants no entry right, a tenant in possession may generally refuse entry except in an emergency.
• A genuine emergency allows immediate entry without advance notice, under the lease and common law – never “as permitted by Mississippi statute.”
• Mississippi recognizes intrusion upon seclusion (Candebat v. Flanagan), but it is demanding – it needs highly offensive, bad-faith conduct (Plaxico v. Michael).
• Constructive eviction requires the tenant to actually vacate; it is not a free-standing over-entry remedy for a tenant who stays.
• Self-help eviction is barred; possession disputes go through forcible entry and detainer under 89-7-1 et seq.

• Personal delivery to the tenant.
• Posting on the door, alone or combined with email.
• Email or text where the lease permits electronic notice.
• Certified mail for a documented record when timing allows.

• Entering with little or no notice for routine, non-emergency reasons, exposing the landlord to a common-law trespass claim.
• Entering at unreasonable hours – early mornings, late nights, or weekends – without the tenant’s agreement.
• Entering repeatedly even with notice, until the sheer volume of intrusions looks like harassment.
• Relying on a broad no-notice lease clause as a shield for pressuring or harassing a tenant.
• Treating a unit as abandoned on thin evidence and entering, when the tenant is merely away.
• Giving vague notice that omits the purpose, the time window, or who will enter, and keeping no dated copy.

• Put a clear right-of-entry clause in every lease: notice period, permitted purposes, and hours.
• Default to 24 hours of written notice as a courtesy even when the lease asks for less.
• State the exact purpose, the time window, and the persons entering on every notice.
• Enter only at reasonable hours and no more often than the task genuinely requires.
• Confirm a tenant’s real-time consent in writing – a text or email noting date, time, and purpose.
• For emergencies, document the time, the nature of the emergency, what was found, and what was done.
• For showings, group visits into defined windows and give the tenant generous lead time.
• Offer a clear way to reschedule so the tenant has an alternative to refusing entry.
• Confirm abandonment with real evidence before relying on it; when in doubt, use legal process, not self-help.
• Keep every signed notice on file for the life of the tenancy.
