A: The answer depends on the terms of the lease, but generally a landlord does not have the right to exclude people from the premises if they are authorized to be there by the tenant.

However, the employer can terminate you at any time and for any reason so if the employer decides it is in its best interests to terminate you or otherwise exclude you from the property, the employer can do so.

Good luck to you.
