Does Tenant Need to be Present During Repairs?
July 14th, 2008 by AptBldgTraderQuestion
My tenant insists that I cannot make repairs unless she is in the unit. This makes it very difficult to schedule workmen. Do I have to allow her to be present when work is performed?
Answer
Civil code 1954 does not require that the tenant be present. The landlord needs to serve a notice, at lease 24 hours in advance. The notice must state the date, time, and reason for entry. The entry must be during normal business hours. The tenant cannot legally alter your schedule.
