While we do our best to keep this information as up-to-date as possible, we nevertheless advise you to also check with the Régie du logement du Québec (Quebec Rental Board), the government body empowered to oversee the laws and policies that govern landlord-tenant relationships in this province.

  The Régie is also responsible for the conservation of dwelling stock in certain circumstances and, in such cases, ensures that tenants' rights are protected.
