Not unless one hasn't paid the rent due or is behind several months. The property is leased or rented - the landlord owns it - the owner can pretty much do what they want within the constraints of the law.

If you have not paid rent, then the landlord does not need to provide access to the rental. There are limits to the amount of time they must allow you to have the contents returned, but the expectation is that it is days, not weeks or months. And, not at your convenience, but theirs. Check your local landlord tenant laws to see where you stand, and go from there.

When shopping for renter's insurance what features should you look for?

The coverage features you should look for when shopping for renters insurance should include protection of your personal belongings against damage from things such as fire, smoke, storms, vandalism and theft. You should look for a policy that covers temporary living expenses so that if your home becomes unfit for you to live there due to anything covered in the policy. Medical expenses in case someone is injured on your property, should also be something you look for as well as personal belongings in your car.


What are the laws concerning someone who rents a home and is the landlord of the home allowed to come in at any time?

Laws will be different from country to country, and possibly even from state to state in the US. I think virtually everywhere in the US, a landlord does not have the right to enter a rented (up-to-date) property at any time. Your rent doesn't give you full ownership of the property, but it does give you certain rights. The privacy of your home is something you should be able to expect when you rent and are current. The landlord does own the property, however, and has the right to inspect the property after giving you adequate notice (and possibly under other circumstances according to the law). You'll have to check local/state laws.


Does the landlord have to knock before entering the property if 24 hours notice is given to the tenant?

It depends on your contract, but it is a very common courtesy that if you are renting form him he should provide. though if you are not home expect that the landlord will enter.

Can a landlord remove your personal items and store them at your expense?

If you are not paying rent, then the landlord has the right to reclaim the home after giving notice. It seems to me that saving your belongings was a kindness, but if they had to go into storage, then you should be responsible to pay the going rate for that effort. Depending on your local laws, there may not be any requirement that the landlord care for your belongings.

Does homeowners insurance cover renters belongings when their house was broken into and items were stolen?

If you are the owner of the house, and are renting to tenants (making you the landlord), then you only have insurance on the house (dwelling coverage - not homeowners coverage) and not the personal contents of the renters. In this case, no, your insurance will not cover their loss. It is the responsibility of the renters to purchase insurance coverage on their personal belongings. If you are the renter (tenant), then you have to buy contents coverage on your personal belongings, such as furniture, clothing, etc. The landlord is not responsible for your belongings, whether the loss is from robbery, fire, etc. In order to purchase homeowners insurance you have to own the home (but it can still be mortgaged) and you have to live in the home. Otherwise, you have to have a dwelling policy on the house if you want it insured, whether it's vacant or rented. If, however, there is still a mortgage on the house, the bank (or mortgage holder) will require you to have insurance on it. If the house is paid for, then it is at your discretion whether to have it insured or not, for the value of the house. But if you rent it out, your state may require that you carry liability insurance on it.
