I am trying to look this up but not sure if this has a rule .

I am not sure what is going on , if they are having problems here or what but everyone got notice of a "Pet Audit " This one is really long - 2 months .
I have 2 cats declared but one is old , and panics for the door when strangers come in. I lost her for 1 week that way when a mattress was delivered . A neighbor found her and in ONE day took her to the vet and they "SPAYED HER" ???? When she had been spayed for years, don't know what vet school they went to but they should have checked first before opening her up, anyone could tell . It was horrible and she has never been the same physically.

Anyway , I cannot be here 24 hours a day for them to do a surprise pet inspection at anytime between the hours of 6 am to 6 pm anytime in the next 2 months to hold onto them nor do I want to cram them in a cage every time I am gone everyday for 2 months. Together my husband and I work LONG hours and not sure my 15 year old could keep her from getting out the door . I tried to make a appt but the answer was no .They are knocking once then coming in at any moment in so not much time to get it together anyway . One of us could be undressed and I deal with a chronic illness on top of my work.

Not sure what to do. This is no joke either .

You didnt mention what state you're in, so i'm assuming you're still in seattle based by your location profile.

(6) The landlord shall not abuse the right of access or use it to harass the tenant, and shall provide notice before entry as provided in this subsection. Except in the case of emergency or if it is impracticable to do so, the landlord shall give the tenant at least two days' written notice of his or her intent to enter and shall enter only at reasonable times. The notice must state the exact time and date or dates of entry or specify a period of time during that date or dates in which the entry will occur, in which case the notice must specify the earliest and latest possible times of entry. The notice must also specify the telephone number to which the tenant may communicate any objection or request to reschedule the entry. The tenant shall not unreasonably withhold consent to the landlord to enter the dwelling unit at a specified time where the landlord has given at least one day's notice of intent to enter to exhibit the dwelling unit to prospective or actual purchasers or tenants. A landlord shall not unreasonably interfere with a tenant's enjoyment of the rented dwelling unit by excessively exhibiting the dwelling unit.

Pretty sure your landlord HAS to give 24 hours notice before entering your unit.

Actually the statute states that at LEAST 48 hour must be given.

I live in that area and we always get written 2-day notices of planned entry. I can't imagine this "surprise" inspection would fly.

Well, according to the OP, the LL/PM are intending to do a surprise visit to determine how many pets, what kind of pets and whether the pets they do have are allowed according to their lease. Management obviously doesn't want to tell the tenant(s) they are coming in hopes to catch anyone who shouldn't have pets, etc, off guard.

But according to their state rental statutes it is not allowed that management do surprise visits without the proper advanced notice given to the tenant.
