Under R.I. Gen. Laws Sec. 34-18-26, a Rhode Island landlord must give the tenant at least two days' notice before entering the unit for inspections, repairs, services, or showings, and may enter only at reasonable times. No notice is required in an emergency. Tenants may not unreasonably withhold consent.
R.I. Gen. Laws Sec. 34-18-26 allows a landlord to enter to inspect, make repairs, improvements or alterations, supply services, or show the unit to prospective tenants, purchasers, mortgagees, workers, or contractors, and provides that 'the landlord shall give the tenant at least two (2) days' notice of his or her intent to enter and enter only at reasonable times.' The two-day notice does not apply in an emergency or when giving notice is impracticable. A landlord may also enter without consent if the tenant is absent for more than seven days and entry is reasonably necessary to protect the premises. The landlord may not abuse the right of access or use repeated demands for entry to harass the tenant.
A tenant subjected to unlawful entry or repeated harassing entry demands may obtain injunctive relief, terminate the rental agreement, and recover actual damages of not less than an amount equal to one month's rent plus reasonable attorney's fees under the Act.
