Entry of Premises of Commercial Building
Full Question:
I am a tenant in a commercial building and I am having a few concerns. We have 14 suites inside of 1 bay, each suite is individual and leases their own suite. These are little salon studios and each is a different business. Anyway, we are all having a problem with the owners coming in and out of our suites without notice, just to see our rooms. We all have staged our rooms to see if they are coming in and they are. What do we do? I know about the landlord tenant act, but does this apply to this situation. Mind you we each signed individual lease agreements. I can see if the room needs repairs, but the place is brand new, 4 months old, and doesn't need repairs. We are responsible for painting, flooring and our own supplies, nothing is needed by them. Why are they coming into our suites? Another thing, it is a husband and wife that own the bay, but the two sons, two daughters, daughter-in-law, and son-in-law all have keys to the place. They don't own it. I caught the son that is around 19 going into my suite and do not know why. Are they allowed to enter the premises without cause and allow other family members access to our rental units?

Answer:
The following is a NE statute:
Section 76-1423
Access.
(1) The tenant shall not unreasonably withhold consent to the landlord to enter into the dwelling unit in order to inspect the premises, make necessary or agreed repairs, decorations, alterations, or improvements, supply necessary or agreed services, or exhibit the dwelling unit to prospective or actual purchasers, mortgagees, tenants, workmen, or contractors.
(2) The landlord may enter the dwelling unit without consent of the tenant in case of emergency.
(3) The landlord shall not abuse the right of access or use it to harass the tenant. Except in case of emergency or if it is impracticable to do so, the landlord shall give the tenant at least one day's notice of his intent to enter and enter only at reasonable times.
(4) The landlord has no other right of access except by court order, and as permitted by subsection (2) of section 76-1432, or if the tenant has abandoned or surrendered the premises.
