Landlords have a duty to protect their tenants’ rights to quiet enjoyment, and to not interfere with | |||
that right themselves. If a landlord interferes with a tenant’s right to quiet enjoyment by repeatedly | |||
entering a rental unit in a manner not in accordance with the RTA, the tenant may apply for an order | |||
to be permitted to change the locks in the rental unit, and to be permitted to not provide the landlord | |||
with a key: see ''RTA'' | |||
While tenants have a right to quiet enjoyment, they also have a duty not to disturb other tenants. A | |||
landlord may end a tenancy for Cause with one month’s notice if a tenant unreasonably disturbs | |||
other occupants or the landlord of the building. This is separate from the right of quiet enjoyment | |||
and is a cause for a landlord to evict (RTA s 47 (d)(i)). | |||
