Alright so I am misunderstanding the 24 hour notice and he is allowed to open and close my garage to see if I am home, i doubt it. that is a violation of privacy. I went thru an actual rental company, and they did not step foot in my house or garage without my permission. I think i would know when i am being violated. and it says in a law, that they are not allowed on the property, property means everything, yard, house, otherwise this would mean he would be able to go into my back yard if he wanted. Once you have someone sign there name to your property you have no rights to it unless there is an emergency. I don't even know how many times I have read this in so many laws. And the 24 hours does go as well if they want to stop by, because he was coming over to get money for a deposit. He is a friend and if he were just stopping by the say hi, thats a different story, he wasn't, he was coming to collect money for the property.

I just want to make this clear that none of this property is open to the public, it is a house. not an apartment, townhome or condo. This man and his family lived in it, moved out and cannot sell it. We are renting it to help them since they have 2 house payments.

A lot of information, no actual question. However I will address some statements that you made that are not completely factual.
The 24 hour notice is required before making a non emergency entry. This would include areas that are not "open to the public". He does not need to give 24 hour notice prior to coming to your house to get a deposit, collect rent, serve or post a notice, etc.
Anyone has the right to walk up to your front door and ring the bell. This includes your landlord. You are correct that he should not open your garage to see if you are there.
The front door of your home is normally considered "open to the public". if someone is found in your home they can be arrested for trespass. If someone knocks on your front door, they are not trespassing until you ask them to leave and they refuse to do so. Your landlord has the right to go to your home to collect payment. He does not have the right to enter without permission, however he certainly has the right to knock on your front door.

Who are you referring to when you say "he"?
