University Park — Part XIV Title Six Housing § 1470-07
Remedies for improper denial of access
Operative Text
If the Tenant refuses to allow lawful access, the Landlord may obtain injunctive relief to compel access or terminate the rental agreement after issuing a written notice to the Tenant specifying the denial of access and that the rental agreement will terminate upon a date not less than fourteen (14) days after receipt of notice, unless the access to the Dwelling Unit is allowed to the Landlord by the Tenant within that period of time. If the Tenant does not allow the Landlord access to the Dwelling Unit within the fourteen (14) day period, the residential rental agreement shall terminate as provided in the notice.
University Park § 1470-07 establishes what happens when a tenant refuses to allow a landlord lawful access to a dwelling unit. Under this provision, the landlord has two potential remedies: seeking a court order (injunctive relief) to compel access, or initiating termination of the rental agreement by issuing a written notice. The written notice must specify the denial of access and state a termination date at least 14 days after the tenant receives it, though the tenant can prevent termination by granting access within that 14-day window.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under University Park § 1470-07 who face a tenant's refusal of lawful access generally document the refusal carefully and then choose between two remedies: pursuing injunctive relief through the courts or issuing a written termination notice. A compliant written notice identifies the specific denial of access and states a termination date no sooner than 14 days after the tenant receives it. Operators typically keep records of delivery of that notice, since the 14-day cure period and the termination date both run from the tenant's receipt.

University Park § 1470-07 gives tenants a meaningful opportunity to avoid lease termination: if a landlord issues a written notice citing denial of access, a tenant who grants the requested access within the 14-day period described in the notice can prevent the agreement from terminating. Tenants who believe a landlord's request for access was not lawful — for example, that proper notice was not given before entry — may have grounds to contest whether the refusal was improper in the first place. Consulting a tenant-rights organization or reviewing local housing authority resources can help tenants understand whether a landlord's access demand qualified as "lawful access" under § 1470-07.
