All leases that I've signed have right of entry clauses.

Inspectors are permitted to look through every aspect of a house, wherever there may be violations of “federal, state, county, or city law, ordinance, rule or regulation relating to the construction, alteration, maintenance, repair, operation, use, condition or occupancy of a premises.” Inspectors may look inside “interior surfaces” of closets and drawers to determine if they are “clean and sanitary.”

What's interesting is my mom has been renting a townhouse for 33 years and it takes an act of God to get her landlord to even come over to fix a toilet. Her carpeting is rotten, and by law, it should have been replaced at least 3 times.

She would ironically LOVE for the landlord to be required to have a city inspection.

But the downside is, her house is falling apart and would probably need to completely gutted and rebuilt to meet code.

And Sacajaweau, all of my rental releases I've signed have included that, too. But they had to inform me when they will be coming. They were never allowed to just come by without my knowledge.

I didn't mind, because I've lived in some real rat-traps that often needed repairs.
