I mean, sheesh, do you get permission from your insurance agent on every applicant, too?  

Option B: You don't need their permission to enter.  

But, they didn't call her and they said it was an "emergency" which gave them permission to do all of the above without calling my daughter, because the contract said they can make decisions using her money - if it's an "emergency."

For one, it's usually a bad idea to let tenants do any maintenance themselves, and you're basically telling them they have permission to do so.Plus, they just won't tell you about minor problems that could create big problems - like a leak under a sink, etc.  

This keeps you from being "painted into a corner" when a tenant asks you a question you don't have an immediate answer to, or for permission for something on the spot. 

And normally, they require a signed permission form from the applicant that must be faxed to their office fax and they will fax info back to you.C'mon, you know this.  

You would be giving blanket permission to anyone to come on in and case the place.  

That hardly implies permission to take it over.Second, from my recollection of the laws, they would have to have a need to use your property to get to theirs, basically.  

Hi Sharon, I'm not sure about the state laws in Tennessee but in Wyoming you can enter rental properties you own without tenant permission and approval so long as you don't interfere with the tenant's "quiet enjoyment" of the property. 

If a tenant chooses not to use the vent, that's on them.So, provide a quieter fan if you just don't want to deal with it (which would be my choice) or give a written warning to the tenants that disabling the fan is a violation of their lease agreement (I'm sure you have a clause about damaging the property or making alterations without permission), and they need to knock it off - and that any damage resulting from them disabling or not using the fan is their responsibility.And of course, you can always not renew their lease.
