Your right to privacy

When a landlord rents out an apartment, that premises becomes the tenant's home, and the tenant has just as much a right to privacy in her home as the landlord does in his. But a modern apartment building must be maintained and protected, and sometimes the landlord needs access to the tenant's apartment in order to serve these real needs. Today, most states have tenant laws that balance these competing interests.

But is it legal for a landlord to enter a tenant's home when he is not there? Learn more about right to privacy by contacting a tenant lawyer in your area.
