Can my landlord enter my apartment without my permission?

No. You have a right to privacy: the landlord needs your consent and reasonable advance notice, except for genuine emergencies or essential agreed maintenance, and entering without permission can breach privacy law. If it keeps happening, document it and file at the Rental Dispute Settlement Centre. (Exact notice period varies by contract - verify.)

Rules and eligibility criteria change — confirm the current position with the relevant authority before acting. This is general information, not legal advice.
