FAQ – If the property is being sold, does the realtor have to provide a Notice of Entry?

Yes, unless the landlord has already provided one. The realtor is acting as the landlord’s agent. As such, they must follow all of the same rules about Notice of Entry as the landlord.

If a tenant does not receive a proper Notice of Entry, the tenant can make a complaint against the landlord.

If the realtor does not provide proper Notice of Entry, the tenant can make a complaint against the landlord, since the realtor is acting on the landlord’s behalf.

For more information, read our publication What You Need to Know if the Place You Rent is Being Sold.
