Definition of 'reasonable times'

[Stephen T.]

I'm located in PA and I understand that the law here doesn't specifically define the term 'reasonable times' regarding entry into a tenant-occupied property (eg, with 24 hours notice to show to prospective tenants or for inspection/non-emergency repairs/maintenance. I'm interested in how other landlords define this term both in PA and elsewhere where no legal definition exists, and whether anyone has specific guidelines they follow, with specific emphasis on whether you enter during weekend hours if you have a regular 'day job' that's not RE investing. I think between 9 and 4 pm on Saturday and 1-4 on Sunday is reasonable. Do others agree?

Our state landlord-tenant laws require 48 hours notice to enter for maintenance and periodic inspections. That is considered reasonable here. However, a tenant can grant us entry earlier. When a tenant wants something done for them or they are the cooperative sort, they usually do allow earlier entry. Most welcome us to come in at whatever time works best for all parties involved, as long as we are respectful, focused on a job at hand and don't abuse our privilege to enter their dwelling.
