48-Hour Notice To Enter

Instructions for Landlord’s Notice to Enter

The Washington Residential Landlord-Tenant Act is silent about how to serve

notice to enter.

The notice must be in writing. The landlord must give 48 hours notice to enter to

inspect, and 24 hours to exhibit.

The notice must give a time or a window of time within which the inspection or

exhibition will occur. The notice must give a phone number the tenant may call to

object.

Although the notice calls for the tenant to contact the landlord if they object to

entry, do not enter if the tenant objects only after you arrive with a vendor or

prospective renter or purchaser.

A residential tenant is subject to $100 per violation if the tenant unreasonably

denies entry.

For rights and remedies in a commercial tenancy check the terms of the lease.

As always, this short set of instructions is not a substitute for legal advice. For

advice about your particular circumstances, please consult with an attorney.

These instructions are not part of the notice form, and there is no need to serve

these instructions on the tenant.
