I need to show the premises to an appraiser, what are my rights for gaining access to the rental unit?

The landlord has the right to enter the rented premises to allow a potential mortgagee or insurer of the property to view the rental unit provided the landlord follows the notice provisions specified in the Residential Tenancies Act. The landlord must provide the tenant with 24-hour written notice that specifies the reason for entry, the day of entry and a time of entry between the hours of 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.
