After moving into a rental property, you as the tenant have the right to inhabit and occupy the unit (occupancy rights). Even landlords or property management companies cannot enter the interior without your permission—this is generally illegal.
Legal Basis:
- •Article 130 of the Criminal Code (Unlawful Residential Entry): Persons who enter someone's residence without just cause are subject to imprisonment of up to 3 years or a fine of up to ¥100,000
