FAQ – Can landlords show a rental property on Sundays or days of worship?

Whether a landlord can show a rental property on Sundays or days of worship depends on whether they have the tenant’s consent. The general rule is that landlords may enter a property to show the premises with at least 24 hours written notice. There are additional time and date entry requirements such as they can only enter the property between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., and cannot enter on holidays or the tenant’s day of worship (presumed to be Sunday unless the tenant lets the landlord know otherwise).  That said, a landlord may enter the property any time as long as they have the tenant’s consent.
