rooms with added expectations of privacy such as bedrooms and bathrooms. Short term occupancy, such as residing in an AirBNB, is also protected from voyeurism/surveillance under the same expectations: hosts/landlords must warn guests/renters of video cameras and these devices are limited to common areas. If the tenant is not comfortable dealing with the landlord or agent, then the tenant may wish to appoint a representative or friend. In either case, a simple and sensible record should be made. Commercial landlords can not harass their tenant by interfering with the entryway of a commercial building in any manner including creating real or metaphorical barriers. An example of a real barrier would be boarding up the store while an example of a metaphorical barrier would be failing to remove snow from the sidewalks. The time taken to carry out the task should be reasonable. The tenant may not wish to conduct business inside a dwelling, and can reasonably ask the landlord to meet or transact business at an alternate place or address.

One of the most common landlord-tenant disputes involves access for making repairs. Various countries have regulations that make reference to codes or
