The Residential Tenancies Act requires the tenant to be provided with written notice at least 24 hours before the time of entry. The notice must specify the reason for entry, the day of entry and the time of entry between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. According to section 27 (2) of the Residential Tenancies Act, the landlord is not required to be present during the showing as long as the showing is conducted by a broker or salesperson registered under the Real Estate and Business Brokers Act and the landlord has provided written authorization for the broker or salesperson to show the rental unit.
