During a Tenancy:

Landlords or property managers need to provide proper notice before entering a rental property. Here's what applies in South Australia:

• Inspections:

  • Written notice is required.
  • Notice must be given at least 7 days but no more than 28 days in advance.
  • The notice should specify the date and time of the proposed inspection, with a window of no more than 2 hours.
  • Inspections are limited to 4 times per year unless a tribunal order allows for more.

• Garden Maintenance or Other Genuine Reasons:

  • Written notice is required.
  • Notice must be given at least 7 days but no more than 14 days in advance.
  • The notice should specify the date and time of the proposed entry.

End of Tenancy:

In the final 28 days of a tenancy, access is allowed to show the property to prospective tenants. This requires reasonable notice and should only happen a reasonable number of times.

Remember: It's crucial to follow these guidelines to respect tenants' rights and maintain a positive landlord-tenant relationship.

Note: This information is based on South Australian regulations. It's always recommended to consult the Residential Tenancies Act 1995 (SA) or seek legal advice for specific situations.
