Getting Evicted
-
Tenants must be given an opportunity to pay late rent. In the event that a landlord wishes to evict a tenant due to nonpayment of rent, he must first give the tenant a written notice. The landlord's notice, sometimes referred to as a "notice to quit," must give the tenant the option to pay rent in full or leave.
Entering
-
Landlords do not have the right to enter a tenant's rental unit without first giving proper notice. The tenant must be given 12 to 24 hours of notice prior to the landlord's entrance. However, landlords do have the right to enter without notice in the event of an emergency.

Services
-
Landlords who offer services as part of the rent, such as water or heat, can not terminate those services without proper notification to the tenant. Under the Residential Tenancies Act, a landlord must give four months notice if he intends on no longer paying for such services.
