Can I legally tell my landlord she can't come in my house till I move?

Question

My landlord wants to bring an appraiser in my house because she wants to sell it and is mad because I don't want to buy it. Can I legally not let her come in and get an appraisal done till after I move? I live in Michigan if that helps

Answer 1

No you can not, but the landlord must give you 24hours notice.

Answer 2

No, you can't do that. The appraiser needs to see the house as soon as possible. This could effect a potential sale. She wants to schedule a time with you; so stop acting like a child. If you don't want the house, or can't afford to buy it, that's no reason for the landlord to be upset. Even if she is, it's not your problem. Your problem is scheduling a time for the landlord to bring the appraiser. You have absolutely no right to refuse such a request, so clean up your house and schedule the appointment!

Answer 3

No way. It's not your house. The landlord has the legal right to have her house appraised and show it to prospective buyers. You can be evicted if you try refuse her or her realtor entry. She does need to give you some type of notice that she will be entering the unit.

Answer 4

I don't know about the laws in Michigan. But in many states you may not refuse entry to the landlord as long as they give you reasonable notice they will be entering the property. 24 hours is usually considered appropriate.

Answer 5

No, you can not. A landlord is entitled to enter the property upon giving proper advance notice for routine purposes such as routine repairs, inspections (for any purpose) or to show the property to prospective buyers or tenants. Normally that's 24 hours but that can vary with state law. Once your LL has given you the requisite notice, you may NOT deny access.

Answer 6

You cannot refuse her entry to the premises. As long as she gives the appropriate advance notice as determined by Michigan statutes, she can come in as she pleases, whether or not you are home.
