California
Hi, I know this thread is a month old, but I am in a similar situation and hoping for some advice. My apartments are called an "affordable living" complex, there are tenants in the building who are on section 8, but the rest, like myself, work full time and the rent amount is based on income. Since this is designated as an affordable housing unit, does that change the landlords right to enter the premises simply to conduct inspections? My lease states that they will do yearly inspections to verify that we are "keeping the premises in a decent, clean, sanitary and safe condition and the inside of the premises maintained according to acceptable housekeeping standards"
Is that an acceptable reason to be inspecting our apartment?
I have one other question, my landlord says that she slipped a notice in my door to conduct one of these inspections, however I never received any notice, however anybody could have walked by and simply pulled the note off my door. Does she need to make a reasonable effort to ensure that I receive the notice (such as slipping it under my door, so it can't be pulled down)? Or is just her stating she gave me notice good enough?
Thank you for your help! =)
