Hi everyone: Do you think 6 months after tenants move in , with 30-day Notice, the landlord can take pictures of the rental house inside and outside when s/he does home inspection? Can landlord take the pictures of the closets and anywhere in/out the house for record when the house is rented? Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

You should have taken photos just before the tenant moved in. You generally need to give the tenant 24 hours notice before you enter the home. I usually tell the tenant that a week in advance and ask them what day and time works for them. I'll do the walk through checking for damages and items that might need repair. I would take a picture of something that needs attention. I would not even think of taking pics in there closets or personal spaces for no reason that's very intrusive for no good purpose.
