I want to do a maintenance inspection of the rental unit and photograph any damage for a Landlord and Tenant Board hearing, what notice am I required to give to my tenant?

A landlord can enter a rental unit and do a maintenance inspection provided that the landlord provide the tenant with 24 hour written notice, specifying the date and time of entry between 8am and 8pm, as well as the reason for the notice. If you plan to take pictures, it is advisable to include in the notice that photographs may be taken.
