A landlord can typically inspect a property every three to six months, with some states limiting inspections to no more than once every 90 days, but this frequency is governed by local laws and the lease agreement. Routine inspections are often done annually or quarterly, while more frequent or emergency inspections may be triggered by issues, complaints, or other specific reasons outlined in the lease. Landlords must always provide proper written notice (at least 24-48 hours, depending on state law) before entering a tenant's unit.
