Did you provide proper written notice stating the reason, date and time of entry? Or did you just showed up and tried to enter and the tenant refused? This is a lease violation if the lease clause is enforceable (Don't see where it states upon reasonable notice by landlord), you should issue an entry violation notice and give the tenant a time to cure the violation. If no cure, than you can start the eviction process, but beware, most judges will allow the tenant to cure the breach without evicting. On the other hand, if the tenant fails to pay rent, an easier route to follow would be filing for non payment of rent. Unfortunately, wanting to enter to take pictures of potential damages before hand is not a valid reason to violate the tenants right to quite enjoyment of the rental premise.
