Almost all have a 24 hour notice for entering the home. And in my personal leases I provide a clause giving 24 hour notice for outside work on the structure itself, (power washing ie) but even that is unusual.

My father owned several rental houses and while growing up during the 1950s I did some of the yard care. I just showed up and cut the grass whenever it was convenient for me.
In 1966 I bought my first rental property, a four unit small apartment building on Capitol Hill in D.C.. I did a lot of the maintenance and just showed up, except when I needed to actually enter an apartment for which an appointment was scheduled for mutual convenience.
Having been a landlord of both residential and commercial properties ever since - and having been a residential tenant a few times as well - I have never signed a lease as lessor or lessee where yard maintenance required an appointment in advance. I have rented in The Villages on three separate occasions. One house had a backyard pool. The pool maintenance person just showed up, no notice, at her convenience. Same for the yard crews at the houses.
This got me curious so I found the standard Florida Realtor residential lease.

It seems to be silent regarding any notice requirement for outside maintenance although plenty of blanks can be checked off and/or filled in to specify such a condition, as well as who is responsible for what.
This is the Florida statute governing residential tenancies.
