Tenant installed alarm without consent. Can I ask for code?

I texted my tenant tonight to let her know I would be coming by with an appraiser. She responded that she would need to be home because of the alarm. Alarm?? They installed an alarm system without asking permission or even notifying me. What rights do I have as a landlord? I certainly understand wanting a security system, but not being asked is a problem, and of course, I want the code. Can I demand it? Thanks.

As per your lease, you have a right to enter, with proper notice. If they don’t give you the code, just enter and let the alarm go off, who cares.
