# What Rights or Options Do I Have to Decline Someone Coming into My Home?
## We completely understand the desire for privacy — and we take that seriously. However, as your property manager, we also have a legal and professional obligation
to keep the homeowner accurately informed about the condition of their property, which is often their largest investment.
Your lease explicitly includes a **“reasonable notice right of entry”** clause (language varies slightly by state and year, but the intent is consistent). This means that while we’ll always provide proper notice and aim to make the process as convenient as possible, **there are no exceptions that allow residents to deny entry indefinitely**.
We’ve structured this process to be **quick, discreet, and respectful**, with minimal disruption to your day. Still, refusing or delaying access beyond **30 days** will trigger our **company policy requiring a notice to vacate** at the end of your term. That’s not a judgment call by your account manager — it’s a non-negotiable part of our compliance standards.
We also cannot manage maintenance or negotiate renewals without completing a legitimate home visit report. So rather than make it stressful, we encourage cooperation — it keeps your account in good standing and ensures everything runs smoothly for both you and the homeowner.
