Except in case of an emergency or if it is impracticable to do so, a landlord or landlord’s agent shall give the tenant reasonable notice of the landlord’s intent to enter and enter only at reasonable times. Twenty-four hours written notice is presumed to be a reasonable notice unless alternate methods of notification or times for entry are mutually agreed upon between the landlord and tenant in the lease. The notice shall specify date or dates of entry, a period of time during normal business hours for entry, and the purpose of intended entry. The notice shall also specify a means for which the tenant may request to reschedule the entry.
