They have absolutely no right to know either way, landlords have absolutely no right to know what you are doing in your house. Working from home is not the same as operating a business where customers come to your home.
well actually if you operated a business from home, thats not legal in nearly every state that im aware of. you have to have a business license among other things. local ordinances/zoning is a huge factor here.
Your comment seems to insinuate that a fee is normal when operating a business from your home, but in most instances apartments/rentals have explicit rules against operating a business from your home in the first place.
This post has nothing to do with operating a business from a home. Working remotely is not the same at all as "operating a business from your home". Period.

That is obvious. He was simply adding info pertaining to this part of your comment. You state a fee would be applicable if you were running a business from your home, but that wouldn't be true since that's not allowed in the first place.
The reply was about a piece of information that you yourself brought up.
It’s an ADU so it’s attached to the landlords house. They would know when you are home. Not saying I agree with it. But this isn’t like some apartment in a complex. It’s attached to the owners house. Landlord is paying all utilities.
Not in this case, the only important thing that matters.
You can say "in many cases" to the end of literally anything because there is of course exceptions for like smelling smoke coming out of the door, or seeing flames through a window, etc.
Comments like this are so low intellect I can't stand it.
Technically speaking, they absolutely do have a right to know. They can allow or disallow nearly anything they want. At the end of the day it’s their property, not the tenants.
No, you're just totally wrong. During the time of the lease, the tenant has the right to the property. That's the entire point of a lease. That's why landlords have to give you notice before coming, and still owe you privacy.
Okay, but they haven’t signed a lease yet so if you want to move in then you’re required to tell them if you work from home or not. Violation of the lease is a means for eviction; if they include a clause that says “if we discover you lied about employment, then we can evict you”.. then once they find out you WFH they evict or raise your rent.
No, contract terms are invalid if they are not legal. For example, I can sign a contract that says “you can be evicted if the landlord finds out you are Muslim”, but it doesn’t mean that it can be enforced against me.
Yes, very limited rights compared to ownership rights. Tenants do not have carte blanche to do whatever they want with a rented property, only what was agreed upon at the time of signing.
Or you have no clue what you’re talking about and are just hoping this is specifically covered. Essentially your just expecting others to do your homework for you
Tenant rights, not owners rights. A tenant cannot do whatever they please with a property they are renting. They cannot do things like paint walls if it’s not agreed upon, or dig a hole in the yard and try to start a garden. The owner is allowed to grant additional rights like this, but they do not have to. A tenant cannot make any physical changes to a property without express permission from the owner.
I don't think they have a right to know, they can ask, but nobody has to divulge their personal information, but the landlord can also deny them because you refused to answer.
At the end of the day it’s their property, not the tenants.
Yes. Which means that they can sell it, must maintain it, and also accept money in exchange for giving up most control of it, commonly known as “rent”.
