Arkansas has no statute requiring a landlord to give advance notice (such as 24 hours) before entering an occupied unit. Ark. Code 18-17-602 only obligates the tenant not to unreasonably withhold consent to entry; it sets no notice period or hours-of-entry limits on the landlord.
Unlike most states, Arkansas imposes no statutory advance-notice requirement before landlord entry. The Residential Landlord-Tenant Act of 2007 addresses entry from the tenant's side: Ark. Code 18-17-602 provides the tenant 'shall not unreasonably withhold consent to the landlord to enter into the dwelling unit' for inspections, repairs, or to show the unit. The statute does not prescribe how much notice the landlord must give, what hours are permissible, or penalties for improper entry. Practically, entry terms are governed by the written lease. Tenants relying on a notice expectation should confirm it is written into their lease, because state law supplies no default notice period.
No specific statutory penalty for entry without notice. Remedies, if any, depend on lease terms; egregious conduct could support a separate trespass or harassment claim outside the Landlord-Tenant Act.
