Can a landlord enter my rental unit without notice?

No, a landlord cannot enter your rental unit without providing proper notice except in an emergency situation. According to the Residential Tenancy Act in British Columbia, landlords are required to give tenants 24 hours written notice before entering the rental unit for a non-emergency reason. This notice should state the date, time, and purpose of the entry. However, in case of an emergency, such as a fire or a water leak, the landlord may enter without notice to address the situation promptly. It is essential to have clear communication between tenants and landlords to respect each other's rights and ensure a harmonious landlord-tenant relationship.
