CNW Telbec/ - The Régie du logement wishes to remind the public of the rules applicable to residential rent increases. The rules are the same when a landlord wishes to modify other conditions of a lease.
Generally speaking, leases for dwellings are renewed automatically at term for the same period of time and at the same rent, unless landlords advise tenants in writing that they want to increase the rent. For one-year leases ending on June 30, 2010, the notice can be given between January 1 and March 31, 2010. That period differs in the case of a room or a lease for another term.
