The notice New Jersey requires before a landlord enters an occupied unit — 1 day under N.J.A.C. 5:10-5.1 — with the reason, the window and the delivery record filled in from the tenant's record.
Pick the situation. The period on each card is New Jersey's minimum — your lease can require more, never less.
N.J.A.C. 5:10-5.1One day (multiple dwellings) (N.J.A.C. 5:10-5.1).
Allowed without notice. Tell the tenant afterwards what happened and what was done.
Repairs, inspections, showing the unit to prospective tenants, buyers or contractors, and supplying agreed services.
Not a proper notice for a permitted reason. Repeated refusal is a lease violation; never enter by force — document it and use the lease-violation notice.
Only if the lease allows electronic notices. The in-app message is emailed and shown in the tenant portal, time-stamped; print it for hand delivery where paper is required.
