Tenant not Responding

[nickek]

Hey guys



I have a tenant who's not responding to my phone calls; this hasn't happened before so I think it's due to his phone being lost or something.



The problem is that I want to go in and inspect the fire safety and take a look to see if the place is still standing.



Would I be legally able to go in despite no response from my phone calls?

In Ontario you can provide written notice (with at minimum 24 hours in advance) notice of a maintenance inspection.

Does that include e-mail?

The notice should be in writing, posted at the residence.



If you have a good relationship with the tenant, email notice could suffice...

no, unless an emergency (flooding, fire, smoke, ..)



You have to post a written notice with 24 hour notice, usually at the door.

That makes sense; thanks for the responses.
