If they had a warrant, or if they have personal knowledge (see or hear) of something illegal inside. Smell counts too but is more difficult to pin down, you should always answer them outside and shut the door behind you. Also, if they do search your house without a warrant and can't find anything illegal, that is considered an illegal search and you can press charges if you feel it necessary.
