Landlord Question and Answer Forum
We have a home in Florida which we have leased. It has become necessary to sale the property so we have notified tenants that we will be start advertising and showing property on January 24th, 2015 per our lease terms. The lease also states they will allow us to show the home during reasonable hours to prospective buyers with a 12 hour notice. They have replied back with they will not allow us to enter home to show the house to prospective buyers and per law they do not have to even though it is in the lease. Can they keep us from entering the house when it is written in the lease? Are there any financial ramifications to them in delaying the sale of our home?

RE: Right of Entry
They by law cannot refuse entry into the house but it must be 24 hours notice. If they do not allow you in there is a chance that they a hiding something and you will want to go to the property with the authorities so that they can witness you enter with proper notice. If they do not you will need to evict them and start the process. This should get them to open the door but if not the eviction will just get them out.
