• Address of rental unit[unit address]
• Given on[date and time this notice is delivered or posted]
• Reason for entry[for example: to carry out a repair, to allow a contractor to inspect the work needed]
• Day of entry[date]
• Time of entry[a specific time, or a window, between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.]

• Landlord or agent name and contact[name and phone or email]

Hand it to the tenant or an adult in the unit, or leave it in the mail box (RTA s.191(1)). You can also slide it under the door (LTB Rule 3.1) or post it on the unit door (LTB Rule 3.2). Email it only if the tenant has agreed in writing to email service (Rule 3.1). Mail counts as given on the fifth day after mailing (s.191(3)). The 24 hours runs from when the notice is given that way, not from when the tenant reads it. Keep a copy, and note how and when it was given. The entry notice calculator works out the earliest entry time for each method.

Section 26 allows entry without written notice in an emergency, or when the tenant consents to the entry at the time of entry. This template is for the planned visits that are neither of those.
