Did you know?
Landlords must follow legal notice requirements before entering a rental unit.
Under the Residential Tenancies Act, the rules around entry can include:
- when notice is required—and when it is not
- what information must be included in the notice
- the permitted time for entry
- how much notice must be provided
- the lawful reasons for entry
- who may enter on the landlord’s behalf
Did you also know?
If a tenant is given lawful notice of entry, and the proposed entry complies with the law, the tenant generally cannot refuse or interfere with that entry.
These rules are designed to protect both landlords and tenants.
Understanding your rights and responsibilities around entry can help you avoid costly and time-consuming disputes.
