        Action in Execution of Title

        If a vendor does not respect its commitment to transfer the title of property, you as a purchaser should take actions quickly. It shall especially register in advance the application on the land register to prevent transactions of the property that could otherwise be carried out.

        Section image

        Latent Defects

        The law provides several ways to compensate a new owner who bought a property with a latent defect:

        • Reduction in the price of the property;
        • Reimbursement of renovations, repairs or veterinary care that have already been made or to be made for rectification of the defect;
        • Reimbursement for damages suffered in certain circumstances;
        • Cancellation of the sale (return of the property to the seller and refund of the buyer).

        Neighbour Relations

        In terms of neighbour relations, the boundary between two properties can cause many dilemmas, especially if the atmosphere between the neighbours is not friendly. We favour out-of-court settlements in this type of case, which often avoids enormous costs for all parties and speeds up the settlement of cases.

      • Frequently asked questions

        What information can a landlord require from a potential tenant for the credit check?

        Name, date of birth and current address are sufficient. The landlord does not have the right to require the applicant's social insurance number, passport or driver's license. The landlord may ask him to present an identity document to verify his identity but he does not have the right to make a photocopy or take a photo. However, the law does not prohibit the tenant from providing this information voluntarily.

        A student or a new immigrant does not have credit data in Quebec, what to do to check his financial capacity?

        One of the ways that can protect the landlord is to require a security/guarantor from the tenant.

        Can the landlord demand a security deposit from the tenant?

        No, the law prohibits the landlord from requiring a security deposit in any form, but it does not prohibit the tenant from freely and voluntarily giving a security deposit to the landlord.

        Can the landlord claim the rent due from the sub-tenant if the tenant is missing?

        Yes. But first you have to sue the tenant for the payment of the rent, then sue the sub-tenant who will pay the rent to the landlord up to the rent he agreed with the tenant.

        Under what circumstances can the landlord terminate the lease before it expires?

        Generally, there are three situations that justify the early termination of the lease by the landlord. First, the tenant does not pay the rent; second, the tenant changes the destination of the dwelling without the landlord's consent or engages in illegal activities in the rented dwelling; third, the tenant disturbs the lives of others.

        I want to rent my duplex to short-term tourists with Airbnb, can I evict the existing long-term tenants for this purpose?

        Yes. This is a repossession of the dwelling for the purpose of changing its use, but you must prove that short-term rental of the Airbnb is permitted for your duplex.

        What are the obligations of the landlord and the tenant in terms of repair?

        The obligations of the owner: make all necessary repairs to the rented property. Repairs are necessary when major defects or breakages occur affecting the conservation or use of the rented property.

         

        The tenant's obligation: make minor maintenance repairs which are small jobs of little importance such as holes in the walls caused by nails and hooks, touch-up paint, replacement of a light bulb or a belt.
