Notice to Enter (Landlord Notice of Entry)
A written notice from a landlord to a tenant of intent to enter the rental premises on a stated date, within a stated time window, for a stated purpose — repairs, a routine inspection, a showing, or a follow-up after an emergency entry. Most states require 24 to 48 hours' advance written notice for non-emergency entry, and the rest require 'reasonable' notice, which courts read the same way; genuine emergencies never require notice, and this letter is for non-emergency entry only. The notice confirms that entry will be limited to the stated purpose, that the tenant need not be present, and how to get in touch if the time does not work, and it closes with a delivery record.
