In Kentucky cities and counties that adopted URLTA, KRS 383.615 requires a landlord to give at least two days' notice before entering and to enter only at reasonable times, except in emergencies. The landlord may not abuse access or use it to harass the tenant. Outside URLTA areas, no statute sets a notice period.
Kentucky's URLTA (KRS 383.500-.715) applies only where a city or county adopted it (for example, Louisville and Lexington). In those areas, KRS 383.615(3) states that "except in case of emergency or unless it is impracticable to do so, the landlord shall give the tenant at least two (2) days' notice of his intent to enter and may enter only at reasonable times," and that a landlord "shall not abuse the right of access or use it to harass the tenant." A landlord may enter without consent in an emergency. The tenant must not unreasonably withhold consent for repairs, inspections, or showings. Outside URLTA jurisdictions, no Kentucky statute prescribes an entry-notice period.
No specific statutory penalty. In URLTA areas, a tenant facing unlawful entry or harassment may recover damages and obtain injunctive relief and may have grounds to terminate the rental agreement.
