In most cases, a landlord cannot simply let the police into a tenant’s rental unit without proper legal authority. Tenants have rights to privacy and quiet enjoyment of their rental units, which means landlords must follow specific procedures to allow law enforcement access to a tenant’s space.<\/p>\n
