What is the implied term of a rental agreement that both parties have reasonable access to the common areas including the kitchen and living room?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Catia v. Scotchman, 2021 BCCRT 677 (CanLII):
15. I find it was an implied term of the rental agreement that both parties would have reasonable access to the common areas, including the kitchen and living room that the parties refer to in their submissions. I also find it was implied term that the parties would treat each other with respect and not endanger the other. The CRT implied a similar term in Kun v. Spears, 2019 BCCRT 1195, which is not binding on me but which I find persuasive.
