Review the notice and tenancy details
Keep the full inspection message, note when it arrived and identify the state or territory and type of tenancy. Check who issued the notice, the stated purpose and the proposed date without assuming a particular notice period.
Make a clear written request
If you need another time, explain the scheduling issue and suggest a practical alternative in writing. Keep a copy of the request and response; this guide does not say that a landlord or agent must accept a change.
Check the official local process
Use the current tenancy authority for the property's jurisdiction to verify entry and inspection rules. If a formal notice, dispute or deadline is involved, contact a tenant advice service or qualified legal adviser.
Keep cleaning separate from inspection rights
A cleaning booking cannot determine whether an inspection is valid or can be rescheduled. If you need cleaning, confirm its scope and timing separately; do not rely on a cleaner to interpret tenancy rules.
