The Tribunal administratif du logement (TAL) suggests a 4% rent increase in 2024 for unheated or electrically heated housing.
Each year, the TAL establishes the applicable percentages for calculating rent adjustments, in accordance with the Regulation respecting the criteria for the fixing of rent.
The TAL recommends a 6.6% increase in fees for personal services in private residences for seniors (RPA).
You can consult all the percentage increases and the TAL’s explanations on its website.
These percentage increases are suggestions only. “In Quebec, landlords and tenants are free to agree on a rent increase that each considers satisfactory. The tenant also has the right to refuse the rent increase submitted by the landlord,” points out the TAL.
If the landlord and tenant do not agree on the rent increase (or any other modification to the lease), the landlord must, within one month of the tenant’s refusal, apply to the Tribunal administratif du logement to modify the lease. The tenant may remain in the dwelling during this time.
However, if the building was built five years ago or less and the box in Section F of the lease is checked, the tenant who refuses a rent increase must vacate the dwelling at the end of the lease. For several years now, Réseau FADOQ has been calling for clause F to be abolished.
The TAL provides landlords and tenants with a calculation tool on its website (tool in French only) “to facilitate negotiations to establish a fair and reasonable rent increase.”
In the event of a dispute with their landlord, tenants can obtain support from housing committees and tenants’ associations in Québec.
If you live in an RPA, you can contact the Centre d’assistance et d’accompagnement aux plaintes (website in French only).
