I have a commercial building that I have purchased, Previous owner left property in it, also I am planning on fixing several problems this property has. The tenant is a nasty person, and so I go into the building when she is not there. Do I need to give her 24 hrs. notice to go into the building. She is threatening me of changing the locks and not giving me a key. Is this lawful of her? In her contract with her previous landlord there is no statement stating notice, and I bought the building with her able to keep her lease till it runs out. Does a landlord have any rights? She is not maintaining the building and it is filthy, and of course she did not have a down payment of anything.

This is a commercial building that she runs a retail business out of. She was supposed to purchase the building than backed out of it, hence, why I now own it. She was given 6 months to look for a new place, but threw a fit during my purchasing the building that I am letting her stay her length of her exsisting lease. Nothing was rewritten. She also now states that perhaps she will leave after Christmas although nothing is in writing. I have told her before that I do need plenty of notice, because I am planning on moving my business to this new building and hence me going in to measure, and see what repairs will need to be done. Much to her anger!

Rental laws vary from state to state. Usually you are required to give some amount of notice to a tenant prior to entering the property for non-emergancy reason.
Also, check the rental agreement to see if it says anything about the upkeep of the property. If she is required to maintain the property in a certain way and she is not it might be grounds for eviction.
I suggest you look on Google for your state's housing laws and tenant's rights.

I believe that the law states that you must give 24-48 hours notice. It may be different in different states though. No matter what the law is in your state i would give notice because it is rude not to. Also, read the lease again. You may be able to re-wright one with the tennant because you are a new owner. You also may be able to ask for a deposit. Their may also be a clause in there about how the property is maintained.
If you are not sure look in the phone book. I know in wisconsin we have a 800 lawyer number that we can call for free to get legal advice. If you can find something like that give them a call to see what you should do.
good luck

First, why is your son leaving college "next 3 hundred and sixty 5 days" if he's largely 15. With really the briefest of suggestion that you've provided, it feels like if every person needs schoolm he does. Now for the question of 24 hours' note. that's really contradictory to the idea of expulsion to allow 24 hours' note. Expulsion is usually a drastic action taken on the area of the college for some egregious habit project. the conception is to allow the student back into the college would by some means jeopardize the protection and/or well being of the remaining scholars. I do see your difficulty in that i does not want even a fifteen 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous completely unsupervised for the period of an expulsion from college when you consider that that already exhibits there are habit issues, yet i imagine the college's first criminal responsibility is to the welfare of maximum persons of the scholars.

You should give 24hrs notice before entering the rented space. The tenant does not have the right to change locks without your permission, it is YOUR building. Her lease with the previous owner should have stipulations on eviction if she continues to be a problem. You can contact your local sheriffs dept. to get info about lawful eviction and how to go about it.

You have rights as the owner and you should give both written and phone notice of you intent to enter the apartment. At least 24 hours.
You should check the lease, as unlawful eviction can drag on (when does the lease run out?)

Are you in the USA? If so, what state? Check your state laws if there is no rental contract.
