A tenant must get the landlord’s written approval
before installing a security system. The landlord and tenant should
discuss what the tenant should do with the system when the tenancy
ends.
<><><><>
The tenant must pay for the system and the
installation. The tenant should also check with their local
municipality to see if they need to have a permit for the system.
<><><><>
The tenant must give the landlord the access code
to their alarm, unless they can show they have a good reason for not
providing it. The landlord needs the code because they may have to
go into the rental unit if there’s an emergency. In an emergency, or
if a landlord is showing the rental unit to a prospective tenant,
the landlord has the right to go into a unit without giving the
tenant notice. (see Privacy – General Information)
<><><><>
When a tenant who installs an alarm system moves
out, they must follow the agreement they had with the landlord. If
they remove the system, they must repair any damage caused during
installation or removal.
