    No, any visit must be arranged and agreed at a time with the tenant.

    Are they ok? Is there no response whatsoever? They could be ill or worse?

    The tenants are breaking their obligation under section 16 c but that doesn't allow a breach of the landlords obligation under section 12 a.

    The RTB will hold the landlord to a higher standard of knowledge of the rights and obligations and expect better compliance from them.

    So, even if I tell them.I will be there in one week time at a given time to inspect the repair, I can't just let myself in.
    I find conflicting reports online that I can and can't

    Is the machine broken and needs to be inspected to organise a repair or is it already repaired and the repair needing to be inspested? Either way the landlord connot enter the.house without the consent of the tennent except in case of a genuine emergency.

    No, not fixed. Can't get them to answer calls, texts or emails

    Technically you can let yourself in as you could fear for their safety due no response. If you don't want to go down that road nothing stopping you "bumping into" the tenants when they are leaving or arrive home and asking them what they think they are up to and telling them have been evicted and have to leave.

    You could also knock on the door again.

    ^^ As above.

    You can let yourself in, in an emergency, that is if there is something urgent which needs to be done to protect the property. Such as repairing a leak or removing a dangerously faulty appliance. Or other emergencies, such as someone having collapsed or whatever.

    You can also let yourself in if you have reason to believe that the property has been vacated.

    Write up a letter, addressed to the tenants directly. The letter should say that the repeated failure of them to respond to you gives you reason to believe that the property is vacated. And if they don't contact you in the next 48 hours, you will be entering the property with the purpose of taking possession. Knock on the door; if they don't answer, deliver the letter.

    If they don't respond but haven't vacated, then you still can't take possession. But you have covered your ass in terms of entering the property without permission.

    Well it won't be getting fixed any time soon if they are not answering any calls, texts, letters or the door. Keep a record of your attempts to contact them so they cannot later claim you failed to fix something they told you was broken.
