Entry with 24 hours written notice
A landlord can enter the rental unit between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., and only if they have given the tenant 24 hours written notice:
- to make repairs or do work in the unit,
- to carry out an inspection, where reasonable, in order to determine whether repairs are needed,
- to allow a potential mortgagee or insurer of the complex to view the unit,
- to allow a potential purchaser to view the rental unit (note: the Act also allows a registered real estate agent or broker to enter for this purpose if they have written authorization from the landlord),
- to allow an engineer, architect or other similar professional to make an inspection for a proposed conversion under the Condominium Act; or
- for any reasonable purpose allowed by the rental agreement.
The notice must include the reason why the landlord wants to enter the rental unit and must state what time, between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., the landlord will enter the unit. If the landlord gives the tenant the correct notice, the landlord can enter even if the tenant is not at home.
