Talk:Illegal Entry (Rooming House)
From Riverview Legal Group
The caselaw overwhelmingly supports the position that, in a rooming house, the rented bedroom (or any other space granted to the tenant as exclusive possession) is the rental unit. Common areas are those shared by the tenants and the landlord does not have to abide by sections 26 and 27 of the RTA.
However, the entry must be reasonable, or the landlord may be found to have breached the tenant's right to reasonable enjoyment.
