In spite of this, many Landlords will request this type of information and insist that the lease application will not be processed unless it is supplied. If this is the case, you can make an appeal to the Régie du logement du Québec. However, you should also use your own good judgement as to what information you will supply. - Refuse the Renter a copy of the Lease. The lease law stipulates that the Renter is entitled to a copy of the signed Lease within 10 days of it being signed. With regards to an oral Lease, the Landlord must also provide a written document with their name and address, and the obligatory provisions of the Lease to the Renter.
- Increase the rent in mid-Lease.
- Terminate a Lease before it expires.
- Forbid a Renter to sublease or assign an apartment, unless the Landlord has a good reason. The reason must be communicated to the Renter within 15 days from the date of the notification.
