A listing salesperson for a six-unit building wants to show two occupied units to a prospective purchaser next Saturday. The tenants have not agreed to the visit. What must happen before she can enter those units?

Correct Answer

C) She needs the landlord's written authorization and 24 hours' written notice with the reason, day and a time between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.

Section 27(2) allows a landlord, or a registered broker or salesperson with the landlord's written authorization, to enter to let a potential purchaser view the unit on at least 24 hours' written notice. Under s. 27(3), the notice must state the reason, the day and a time of entry between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.

Answer Options
A
She needs the landlord's verbal permission and must phone each tenant at least 12 hours ahead of the visit
B
She needs a Board order, because only a landlord in person may enter a tenant's unit for a showing
C
She needs the landlord's written authorization and 24 hours' written notice with the reason, day and a time between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.
D
She needs the tenants' signed consent, because entry for a sale is permitted only if tenants agree in writing

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Section 27(2) and (3) require the landlord's written authorization for a registrant, and at least 24 hours' written notice stating the reason, day and a time between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.
