Landlord Asking Us To Take Off Work

Card image cap

Hi all,

My partner and I are renting a house in Minnesota. Our landlord emailed yesterday telling us that one of us is required to be present next Wednesday during the workday for a city inspection. I work in the schools so I cannot just take off work with that little of notice. My partner has an important interview next week and I want him to prioritize that. He doesn’t yet know what day it is but I think he should be flexible for the interview- he was laid off and this is a very promising opportunity. I’m assuming that the appt has been made for a while and our landlord just sat on it (we rent through a very large company). I told our landlord that we absolutely give permission to enter the unit and will put the cats in a room and bring the dog to daycare. I also said that we would let him know if we can make it work but will need a couple of days to see if we can sort things out. Can he legally demand us to take off work and miss important stuff to be there?
