A: A tenant cannot unreasonably refuse you entry to inspect your property. Whether you can clear brush etc. depends upon what their lease says and what their rights include. The only way to really know is for you to take a copy of the lease to a local landlord-tenant attorney for an in depth review of exactly what your rights and obligations are. Good luck.
