This video supposedly showcases a landlord illegally entering a property without a 24-hour notice. This action breaks the Landlords responsibilities, as they have entered without warning. Before entering a property, a landlord must give at least a 24-hour notice. A landlord cannot enter a property without reason, either. In Ontario, it must be to carry out a repair or replacement, allow a potential mortgagee or insurer to view the unit, for a certified individual to make an inspection, or any other reasonable reason for entry that is specified in the tenancy agreement.

This video is filmed by the tenant, who shows multiple different reasons why the house is an unsafe environment. There are numerous cracks throughout the house due to the foundation sinking, which causes the risk of a collapse. There is also black mold throughout different locations in the house that the tenant is dealing with because the landlord will not fix the problem.
