It is important that all tenants are provided with a peaceful and private time in their rental property. The lessor or the agent must take all possible measures to ensure comfort and privacy of the tenants during the tenancy period. This can be done if there isn't too much of unnecessary interference from the lessor or the agent. However, for better property management, it is essential that the lessor or agent make occasional visits to the rental property for building and other inspections.

To enter a rental property, the lessor or the agent must comply with all the laws and regulations. Unless it is stated in the tenancy agreement, there is no need for the tenants to be present when the lessor or agent enters the premises. They can do so in absence of the tenants, however, it is recommended by the RTA that the lessor or agent enters at a time when the tenant is present. Under no circumstances can the tenant prohibit the entry of the lessor or agent in the rental property as long as correct notice has been given and the visit is made at an appropriate time. However, if a certain time is specified on the entry notice, the lessor or agent has to comply with that.

The entry of lessor or agent has to be according to the reasons specified in the Act. Notification in writing is required on a form called the entry notice. According to the terms and time specified in the notice, the lessor or agent can enter the premises with prior notification to the tenant but it has to be at any of the agreed times. There can be a few exceptions to this rule. In case of emergency or for the protection of premises from damage, the lessor or agent may enter the rental property at any time and without a notice.

There can be many reasons why the lessor or agent might want to enter the rental property. These include inspections, repairs and maintenance, valuation of property and to check if the premises have been abandoned or being used for illegal activities.

Most tenants want a private and peaceful time at their rental properties and do not prefer intrusions from lessors or property managers. Therefore, the landlords must notify the tenants before their visit. Also, the visit should be made at an appropriate time as decided in the entry notice.
