Re: Notice of Entry
Dear [Tenant's name],
I am writing to give you advance notice that I, or someone on my behalf, will need to come by [the rental address] on [date of entry], between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., for routine maintenance or non-urgent repairs.
New Brunswick requires at least seven days of notice for this kind of entry, and the visit will be between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Please make sure the entry date allows for that.
You do not need to be home. If that timing does not work for you, just let me know and we will find something that suits you better. You can reach me at [your phone or email].
Sincerely,
[Your name]
Landlord

Landlord entry rules in New Brunswick
A landlord cannot simply walk in, and the notice depends on the reason. Routine maintenance needs at least seven days, while an inspection or a showing needs at least 24 hours. No notice is needed for an emergency, or for a repair the tenant asked for in writing (for the first two working days).
Entry has to be between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., and not on a Sunday or a holiday. Pick the reason and this tool sets the right notice period and the correct wording, so your notice holds up.
