What are my rights regarding their viewing conditions? They only said Sunday 10-12, no open house.
Since the tenants have terminated the lease, the relevant paragraph is § 186 of the Tenancy Act — not § 102.
According to § 186, the tenant is obliged to allow inspection of the rental property. The tenant sets the times, but they must include at least 2 hours every other weekday at a time convenient for an inspection.
The tenants' terms (Sunday 10-12, no open house) do not meet § 186:
- Sunday is not a weekday. § 186 requires time on weekdays (Monday–Friday). A single Sunday slot is not sufficient. - 2 hours every other weekday is the minimum requirement — not a one-time slot per week. - Tenants cannot unilaterally limit to Sundays only through attorney-dictated conditions; the law's minimum requirements apply.
What you can do:
1. Respond in writing and refer to § 186: the landlord is entitled to at least 2 hours every other weekday. 2. Ask them for a specific weekly schedule that meets the legal minimum. 3. If they refuse to provide the legally required time, it is a breach of § 186 — you can then proceed with the Rent Tribunal or the bailiff's court.
Open house: § 186 does not specifically mention open house; it concerns access for inspection. Tenants may have a legitimate interest in limiting the number of simultaneous visitors, but they cannot completely prevent showings within the legally required time slots.
