Understanding Landlord Entry: What Is an Emergency?
Under the Mount Prospect Landlord and Tenant Regulations, a landlord needs to give reasonable notice before entering the rental property.
However, the landlord may enter the rental property without the tenant's consent in case of emergency. The following are "emergencies":
- Prevent damage or destruction to the unit, personal property, appliances, or furniture within
- To protect any person from injury
Getting a rent check because a tenant is not current on rent is not an emergency.
