That may be the rules but they are not followed. I lived in an apartment most of my life at many different complexes in Kentucky and as long as they give you 24 hours notice that they will be coming in to inspect or fix something they could come in. However I often found them coming in for other reasons. My mother once woke up from a nap to find the maintenance man in the hallway. They would go in to the apartment to go to the bathroom. A big no, no but it does happen. The worst part is the same complex ended up having a sex offender as a maintenance man. They fired him when they realized but the point is they didn't do proper background investigations prior to giving the guy a key to all the units (over 100 units). All I can say as I am glad to no longer have to rent.
