"right to inspect" in lease?

[Dick M.]

Do any of you have a clause in your lease to inspect the property, say every 90 days or something similar? I have to keep after him about trash outside, do I have a right to want the inside reasonably clean??

[Hoang P.]

This is what I have in my lease agreement:

"Tenant will be prepared for quarterly house inspections which will occur at three month intervals, and for such inspections Tenant shall have house in good clean condition, organized in such a manner that Landlord may inspect all important aspects of house, in order to maintain the health, safety, and welfare, of Tenant, and property. Tenant shall guarantee that the house be regularly cleaned and in good condition. Landlord reserves the right to hire professional cleaners and be reimbursed by Tenant if it is determined that Tenant is not sufficiently cleaning house."

Good luck.
