ok then lets take your point of view:

You enter for inspection and see that the tenant is running a pot growing business or other item that is in violation of the lease.

now you go to process the eviction, where is your proof?

is it the LL claim, no; it is the evidence. And evidence is photos or witnesses.

The fact of the matter. When a LL has the right of entry, this means they are permitted access, without limitations of privacy rules. And if a tenant refuses, then they are PITA's and violating a LL rights.

The LL is conducting business by having an appraisal. it is not the place of a tenant to refuse this reasonable request.

In California Under Civil Code 1954 the landlord may enter your unit without your permission ONLY:
(1) in an emergency, like a fire or broken pipe, or
(2) upon reasonable advance notice, and then ONLY:
(A) to inspect, repair, or show the apartment,
(B) during normal business hours [presumably Mon.-Fri. 8AM-6PM]

Nowhere does it say they're allowed to take pictures. So, if you took pictures of them growing pot, it won't be allowed as exidence since they were acquired illegally.
