Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida
I have a lease that states "The Landlord agrees to enter the unit only during reasonable hours, to provide reasonable advance notice of his / her intent to enter the unit, and to enter th unit only after receiving the tenants consent to do so."
My question is what constutes "Notice". When I lived in the Tampa Housing Authority each tenant would receive a 72 hour notice attached to their front door.

That term "reasonable" is the subject of many cases and debate. The standard is typically what the average person would consider reasonable. There is no tried and true definition. This lease provision is standard and gives the landlord flexibility to efficiently manage the property.
If you believe that at any time the landlord is violating this provision, meaning that he is acting UNREASONABLY, then you should address your concerns immediately in writing and possibly seek the assistance of an attorney.
