Under the Trespass to Property Act how does someone become a trespasser?

1. Fails to leave when directed

2. Enters where entry is prohibited

3. Engages in prohibited activity

4. All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

The Trespass to Property Act in Ontario defines a trespasser in various ways. Firstly, one becomes a trespasser if they fail to leave when instructed. An individual has the right to ask someone to leave their premises. If that individual doesn't comply and stays on the property, they technically become a trespasser. Secondly, entering where entry is prohibited also classifies as trespassing. This can include entering properties that are fenced off, have signs indicating that entrance is prohibited, or other physical barriers suggesting that the public or unauthorized persons are not allowed to enter. Lastly, engaging in a prohibited activity, regardless of whether one had permission to enter the property initially, could also be regarded as an act of trespassing. This means that even if you had the right or permission to enter, if you engage in activities that are not allowed on the premises, you can be considered a trespasser. Therefore, option D which is 'All of the above' is the correct choice, as these are all different ways someone can be considered a trespasser under the Trespass to Property Act in Ontario.
