Does a landlord have the right to post a notice on a tenant''s dwelling stating that it is private property and no one other than the renter''s immediate family may enter the renter''s dwelling without the landlord''s permission?
Hello,Is this a room in a house, or is this an apartment?Regards
Reply to Flagbridge-RE's Post: It is an unattached, single family house that is occupied solely by the tenant.
The landlord has no right to enforce such a notice in any way.The landlord is allowed to limit the occupants, or people living in the house, but is not allowed to interfere with regular use and enjoyment.If this helps please click ACCEPT.Regards

Reply to Flagbridge-RE's Post: This helps tremendously and I will happily click yes. I would like to also know, since this landlord can be unreasonable, if there is some written documentation you are aware of that would help put the matter to rest?
Are you in a lease?
Reply to Flagbridge-RE's Post: It is not a lease. It is a month to month. There is a contract that I have not read but I am told that the only restriction enumerated is "no pets." I'm gathering this opinion for a friend.
Regardless a clause like that is not enforceable on the lease.The problem is they can give you 30 days notice for no reason to move. (unless you are in rent protected area)Even if it was enforceable as part of the lease, the statement on your door does not constitute a valid change to your contractual agreement. You would need to agree to that new rule.The basic element is Contract law, then the second element is Landlord Tenant law. If he tries to enforce this rule, you can sue him for breach of your agreement, and constructive eviction.Let me know if you need more information. If so please give your State.Regards
Reply to Flagbridge-RE's Post: Thank you again for all of the that. The house is rent controlled in the Los Angeles area, so I don't see his ability to give the 30/60 day notice based on their 12 reasons for eviction. I believe I am satisfied that my friend is okay and will "Accept" with your reply. My sincerest thanks for the benefit of your expertise! Very best regards
