What notice do I have to provide to my tenant when I intend to show the unit to a prospective buyer?

You must give 24-hour written notice of entry to the tenant. The notice of entry may be delivered by: handing it to the tenant or an apparently adult person on the tenant’s premises; placing it in the tenant’s mail box; placing it where mail is ordinarily deliver; sliding it under the tenant’s door; sending it by facsimile to the residence or place of business; sending it by courier or mail with additional time added; email if the person or party receiving it has consented in writing to service by email or posting it on the tenant’s door.(Note: Only the notice of entry may be posted on the door. Any other document that must be served on a tenant can not be delivered in this manner.)
