What must I check before entering a San Francisco rental?

Not a yes/no score. The interview works out which §1954 route your facts support and what is still missing before you go in. Showings are not all alike: buyers have an oral-notice window, tenants do not.

Question 1Why do you need to enter?
Question 2Is it an emergency right now?
Question 3Has the tenant agreed to this entry at the time?
Question 4Has the unit been abandoned or surrendered?
Question 5Will notice be in writing?
Question 6How is the notice delivered?
Question 7When will you enter?
Question 8Does the notice state date, approximate time and purpose?
Question 9Will the full notice period have elapsed at the actual entry time (24 hours, 48 hours for initial inspection, or 6 days by mail)?
