Termination of agreement by lessor if premises abandoned
76A Termination of agreement by lessor if premises abandoned
If a lessor suspects on reasonable grounds that a tenant has abandoned the residential premises, the lessor may give a written notice to the tenant terminating the agreement.
The notice must be in the approved form and must —
be signed by or for the lessor or property manager; and
identify the residential premises; and
state the lessor is terminating the agreement because the tenant has abandoned the premises.
If the tenant does not take action under section 76B to dispute the notice within 7 days after being given the notice, the tenant is to be taken to have abandoned the premises.
