Landlord entry & access
Massachusetts doesn’t set a minimum notice period for entry. Instead, it limits the reasons: a lease may let the landlord enter only to inspect, make repairs, or show the unit to a prospective tenant, buyer or lender; under a court order; if the unit appears abandoned; or, in the last 30 days of the tenancy or after either side has given notice to end it, to assess damage for the deposit (§15B(1)(a)). A clause allowing entry for any other reason is void. The statute sets no notice period, but giving reasonable advance notice outside emergencies is sound practice.
