You do not have to give the T a 24 hr notice if you have a signed and dated text/email/letter from them as to when you can come over. THEY are the ones giving YOU the minimum 24 hr notice as to when to come over. As I said earlier, ask them for several dates and times so if one doesn't work, another one will. Then confirm the date/time with the T and stick to it no matter what. You guys are butting heads because you are throwing codes and legalese at them, and you want them to conform to your time frames, when it should be the other way around. Accommodate them and you may become friends again.

First of all I'm not an attorney and I don't pretend to be, and G, from what you have stated in other posts, I gather that you are not either. You live in Iowa and you have a basic landlord understanding of your state's laws. I live in California and everything I read points to California Civil Code 1954 which states "Twenty-four hours shall be presumed to be reasonable notice in absence of evidence to the contrary" with or without the T present. You assume that our communication has fallen apart because I speak legalese at this point in time, but there was another issue between us that has not been discussed in this stream. My trust in them has been broken because of their lies and manipulation and I feel that everything has to be documented in writing after that trust has been broken. It amazes me to see how people jump to conclusions with the bit information that is provided.

Lies and manipulations? You are too emotionally involved and need to take a step back. You had safety issues that were reported in September. Why have they not been fixed? It is within your rights to issue the notice that you will be entering to make the repairs within the timeframe specified by your state statutes. Get the repairs made. If the tenants continue to bar access, are you allowed to issue a Cure or Quit notice?

You are right. I know Ia. laws, but not Ca. laws. But when someone comes on this forum with questions, they should expect all kinds of answers from all over the country. Only the OP can decide what is the best answer for their particular situation. We are here to try to help someone with our opinions, which are general in nature, and do not always follow a certain states laws exactly. If you don't like someones answer, "take it in stride or with a grain of salt." You don't need to respond to them if you don't want to. And, yes, people jump to conclusions either because there is not enough pertinent information given, or some info that was given was not what many LLs feel they would do in that same situation.
