You are a landlord. Your
tenant has given you written notice that he will move
out at the end of the lease. Or he has given you a 3 months' notice,
accompanied
by an attestation from the authorities concerned, indicating that
he is cancelling
the lease for one of the following motives specified by the law:
- he has been allocated
a dwelling in a low-rental housing unit;
- he can no longer occupy
his dwelling because of a handicap;
- in the case of an elderly
person, if he is admitted permanently to a
residential and long-term care centre or to a foster home.
When and how can you arrange
visits to the dwelling now for rent? As soon as
you have received your tenant's notice, you may post a sign "for
rent" and you
have the right to visit the dwelling. However, remember that you
must obtain
permission from the tenant before entering the premises. Verbal
consent is sufficient
and no time limit is imposed by law.
Visits must take place
between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. and the tenant may demand that you
or your representative be present. Otherwise, the tenant has the
right to refuse you access
to the dwelling.
Some advice: As soon as
the tenant gives his notice of non-renewal, reach an agreement
with him on the conditions of visit of the dwelling since you
must get his permission before
entering his home.
