Landlord entry for new tenants?

Question

S I am moving out of an apartment next month and last night some one dropped of a letter saying potential tenants and the landlord would be stopping by to see the place. I was not notified within a reasonable time. They plan on coming in 24 hours of notice and I wont be home because of work. Can they do this? Is there a place to find tenants rights for MN?

Answer 1

READ your lease.

Generally 24 hours notice is sufficent

You do have right to advance notice and to be present. . . .

TALK to your LL, management co

Answer 2

As stated read the lease but in general 24 notice is sufficient notice to enter and no statute will not require you to be home for the landlord to enter  

Answer 3

First thing, read your lease.  24 hours notice is usually all a landlord needs to give, especially if you are vacating and they need to show the place.

12. TENANT'S RIGHT TO PRIVACY

    A landlord cannot enter the rental unit without the tenant's consent except in emergency situations. If a landlord wishes to make repairs and needs to get into a tenant's rental unit, the landlord must first get the tenant's permission, otherwise the landlord is trespassing and can be arrested or sued in court. Minn. Stat. §609.605, subd. (1)(b)(4) (1992).

However, the landlord may write a provision into the lease giving the landlord the right to enter a tenant's unit under reasonable conditions, such as to make repairs, to check potential physical problems, or to show the unit to prospective new renters or purchasers.

But, unless the landlord puts these provisions into the lease, the landlord's right to enter is limited to emergency situations. (It should not noted that, in practice, there is an implied right to enter if the landlord has to make required or requested repairs to the unit. The tenant should not unreasonably refuse permission to a landlord to enter in such cases. It is a good idea for the tenant and landlord to agree ahead of time when repairs may be made.)
