Can a landlord cancel an inspection notice the day of inspection?
I got a notice from my landlord for an inspection. I had a doctor’s appointment that I had to cancel to be here for the inspection. On the day of the inspection, 3 hours after start of the time frame they said they would be here, they canceled by text due to weather. There are no weather issues. Is this legal? I have put in several hours and money into this appointment I had to cancel.

Unfortunately for you, your landlord can cancel without any recourse an inspection of your unit even though you have to cancel a doctor's appointment to make the inspection.
Sometimes appointments for whatever reason simply cannot be kept. Just because the landlord was not able to keep his appointment does not mean that there was anything illegal as to what happened.
