72 Hours is the most common way to refer to the 72-hour notice that must be given to a tenant before entering their rental unit. This notice is required by California Civil Code Section 1954 and allows a landlord to enter a tenant's unit for specific reasons, such as making repairs, showing the property to prospective tenants, or in cases of emergency.
Here's a breakdown of the key elements of the 72-hour notice in California:
**What it is:** A formal written notice from a landlord to a tenant informing them of the landlord's intent to enter their rental unit. The landlord must provide at least 72 hours' written notice before the planned entry.
**Purpose:** To allow the landlord to enter the unit for legally permissible reasons while respecting the tenant's right to privacy and quiet enjoyment of their property.
**Legal basis:** Primarily California Civil Code Section 1954.
**Key requirements of the notice:**
* **In Writing:** The notice must be in writing.
* **Delivery Method:** It must be delivered to the tenant in a legally specified manner (detailed below).
* **Reason for Entry:** The notice must state a valid legal reason for the entry.
* **Date and Approximate Timeframe:** The notice must specify the date and approximate time frame of the entry. The law states the time should be "during normal business hours" (generally considered 8 am to 5 pm on weekdays).
* **Length of Notice:** At least 72 hours before the entry.
**Valid Reasons for Entry (as per Civil Code 1954):**
* **To make necessary or agreed repairs, alterations, or improvements.**
* **To supply necessary or agreed services.**
* **To exhibit the dwelling unit to prospective or actual purchasers, mortgagees, tenants, workers, or contractors.**
* **In case of an emergency.** This is an exception to the 72-hour rule. In an emergency, the landlord can enter without notice or with shorter notice.
* **When the tenant has abandoned or surrendered the premises.**
* **Pursuant to a court order.**
**Invalid Reasons for Entry (Generally):**
* Random inspections for no specific reason.
* Entry solely to harass or intimidate the tenant.
* Entry without proper notice (unless it's a documented emergency).
**How the notice must be delivered:**
California Civil Code 1954 specifies the acceptable methods of delivery:
* **Personal delivery:** Handing the notice directly to the tenant.
* **Leaving a copy with a person of suitable age and discretion:** Delivering the notice to someone at the unit who is at least 18 years old and appears capable of understanding the notice.
* **Posting a copy on the door and mailing a copy:** Posting the notice on the tenant's door and simultaneously mailing a copy to the tenant at the rental unit address. The law specifies how to calculate the 72 hours in this case (it starts when the mailed copy is deposited in the mail).
* **Leaving a copy in the mailbox (if the mailbox is accessible):** This is sometimes considered acceptable, but posting on the door and mailing is the safest and most common method to ensure proof of delivery.
**Important Considerations:**
* **"Normal Business Hours":** While the law states "normal business hours," it's best practice to be more specific about the time window (e.g., between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM).
* **Tenant's Right to Refuse (with valid reason):** A tenant can *reasonably* refuse entry if the proposed time is inconvenient, but they cannot unreasonably withhold consent for lawful entry. If the tenant refuses entry for a valid reason, the landlord should attempt to reschedule.
* **Tenant's Right to Privacy:** The 72-hour notice is designed to balance the landlord's right to access with the tenant's right to privacy and quiet enjoyment.
* **Consequences of Improper Notice:** Entering a tenant's unit without proper notice (unless it's an emergency) can be considered a violation of the tenant's right to privacy and can potentially lead to legal action by the tenant.
**In summary, California 72 Hours refers to the legally mandated written notice a landlord must provide to a tenant at least 72 hours in advance before entering their rental unit for specific, valid reasons, except in emergencies.** This notice is a crucial part of the landlord-tenant relationship in California, ensuring both parties understand their rights and obligations regarding entry.
