ATTORNEY ANSWER:
Property managers do not have the right to enter a unitowner’s unit without some advance notice unless there is an emergency. The underlying condominium documents usually require at least a 24 hour advance notice absent an emergency matter, such as bursting pipes or fire. A Unitowner upon receipt of this prior notice may try to reschedule the site visit to a more convenient time (within limits) but such unitowner does not have the right to deny access if the property manager has a good faith and legitimate need to enter and gives reasonable advanced notice.
