Landlords may inspect a rental unit, but only with proper notice and at a reasonable time. Unlawful lock changes by either party can result in serious consequences, including termination of the tenancy or eviction. Knowing these rules helps maintain a fair and respectful landlord-tenant relationship.

Under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1974, a landlord, or someone they have authorized in writing, may enter a rental unit to inspect its condition or check whether repairs or maintenance are needed.
