What happens if a landlord fails to provide required notice before entering a tenant's unit?

If a landlord fails to provide the required notice before entering a tenant's unit, they may face a fine. This is because many jurisdictions, including Oregon, have specific laws that require landlords to give tenants advance notice, typically 24 hours, before entering the rental unit. This requirement is designed to protect tenants' rights to privacy and quiet enjoyment of their home. Violating these notice regulations can lead to administrative penalties or fines, as it undermines the legal agreements and protections established in landlord-tenant relationships. Thus, the enforcement of these laws serves to maintain a fair and respectful living environment for tenants.
