    What rights do both the landlord and tenant have?

    November 18, 2010
    by James Tilley

    The landlord or his agents have the right to access the property at reasonable times during the day to carry out repairs for which he or she is responsible for and inspect the condition and state of the property. 24 hours written notice to inspect the property must be given unless in case of a emergency when the landlord or agent can enter immediately. Arrangement for access to the property must be written into the contract.

    Tenants have the right to possess and enjoy the property during the tenancy without any interruption from the landlord. This clause does not limit any of the rights made under this agreement that the tenant has allowed the landlord/landlady to exercise. Neither does it prevent the landlord from taking lawful steps to enforce these rights if the tenant should break any of the terms of the agreement
