Under the Ontario’s Residential Act, a tenant has the right to reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit. Having an open house every weekend for the purposes of selling the property – though inconvenient – is well within the landlord’s right provided they have given you 24 hours notice. However, you still have the following rights:
根据《安大略省住宅法》,租户有合理享有租赁房子的权利。如果房东提前24小时通知您,那么每个周末都有一个开放日来出售房产——尽管很不方便——这完全是房东的权利。但是,您仍然拥有以下权利:
You are not obligated to leave the premises during showings You are not obligated to leave the premises during showings
You are not obligated to stage the rental unit
您没有义务对出租房子进行售前装饰
You are not obligated to keep the unit in the tidiest state; however, it must be tidy and clean
您没有义务保持房子处于租客刚搬来的状态;但是,它必须整洁
You may continue to live your regular life during showings; e.g. if it happens at lunchtime you can choose to continue to have lunch as a family
在看房期间,您可以继续过正常的生活;例如,如果发生在午餐时间,您可以选择继续和家人一起吃午餐
Having said all of the above, it really is in your best interest the owner sells the place as soon as possible to minimize disruptions to your family due to the house sitting on the market for an extended period. For example, if you are in the unit while the open house is happening then potential buyers will feel uncomfortable and less likely to buy. If you maintain your unit in disarray it will show badly and won’t sell. This will translate to keeping the house in the market, schedule more viewings and schedule more open houses, and a very unhappy family.
话虽如此,业主尽快出售房屋确实符合房东的最大利益,以最大限度地减少因房屋长期在市场上出售而对您家庭造成的干扰。例如,如果您在开放日期间住在公寓里,那么潜在买家会感到不舒服,也不太可能购买。如果您把房子搞得比较乱,它就会表现得很糟糕,导致房子卖不出去,结果房子会继续留在市场上出售,有更多的人来预约看房,以及给租客的家庭带来不开心的因素。
Be cautious of how you act. Interfering with the landlord’s rights is basis for eviction so do not do anything that can jeopardize a sell.
谨慎行事。干扰房东的权利是驱逐的依据,所以不要做任何可能危及出售的事情。
Collaborate within reason (you don’t have to go out of your way though), keep your place tidy, leave during open houses, and learn to ignore visitors. It’ll all be over soon.
在合理的范围内合作(但你不必刻意),保持您的房子整洁,在开放日期间适时离开,并学会忽视参观的人,一切就会很快结束的。
