Part 3 Divisions 3 and 4: Occupation, quiet enjoyment and entry – NSW Residential Tenancies Act 2010

NSW Residential Tenancies Act 2010 s55: s 55 Enter without consent only on the listed grounds and notice (as amended 21 September 2026)

Without the tenant's consent the landlord, agent or authorised person enters without notice only in an emergency, for urgent repairs, where a reasonable attempt at consent failed and there is serious concern for someone's health or safety, where the landlord reasonably believes the premises are abandoned, or under a Tribunal order. With notice it enters only: to inspect up to 4 times in 12 months with 7 days' written notice each time; for necessary non-urgent repairs or maintenance, or statutory health and safety work, with 2 days' notice; for smoke alarm work with the notice the Regulation sets (2 business days to inspect or assess, 1 hour to repair or replace); to value once in 12 months with 7 days' notice; to take photographs or recordings of the interior or exterior for advertising a sale or lease, once only and within the 28 days before the premises are first advertised for that sale or lease or before the agreement ends; to show prospective tenants a reasonable number of times in the last 14 days with reasonable notice; and, where no agreement is reached under s 53, to show buyers at most twice a week with 48 hours' notice. Parts of premises not exclusively occupied by the tenant are outside the section.
