California landlord rights - tenant refuses access to bedrooms

[Carlos E.]

Hi all,

I have a tenant that I notified, I’d be inspecting the property inside and out for repairs.  Things went well until we got to the bedrooms, she (My tenant) refused to show them to me. First, explaining her children were asleep. “How about the master bedroom? “ I asked. She refused. Ok,Then I inquired, “Well when can I come back to see the rooms? “ More excuses.  Now when I call, no answer.

Honestly, I’ve been more of a friend to theses tenants than a landlord. Big mistake on my part. So, before I proceed, I need to know my legal rights in California. I suspect she’s has more family member’s living at the home than she’s telling me.  I know I could have avoided all of this if I treated The rental more business like. Lesson sadly learned.  So if anyone could point me in the right direction on the web,I would greatly appreciate it. 

Thank you, Carlos
