Here are your state's rules on the amount of notice landlords must give tenants before they enter (in non-emergency situations). For details, see your state's landlord-tenant statutes. If landlords are afraid they can't inspect or fix damages to their property before the tenant leaves, consider the limits and deadlines on returning the security deposits back to the tenant.
