Guidance for Quebec landlords and tenants, not legal advice. Confirm the current rules with the Tribunal administratif du logement before sending a notice.
Working out the new rent?
The TAL has its own official calculation tool. The 2026 tool covers periods starting between April 2, 2026 and April 1, 2027. This tool gives dates only, not an amount.

When do I send the notice of modification?
For a lease of 12 months or more, 3 to 6 months before the lease ends. For a lease of less than 12 months, 1 to 2 months before it ends. For an indeterminate lease, 1 to 2 months before the proposed change. For a room, 10 to 20 days before the end of a fixed-term lease, or before the proposed change if the lease is indeterminate.
What if the tenant doesn't reply?
The tenant has one month after receiving the notice to reply. A tenant who doesn't reply is deemed to accept the renewal on the conditions you proposed.
Can a tenant refuse the increase?
Yes. If they refuse, you may apply to the TAL within one month after receiving the refusal. Otherwise, the lease is renewed at the same rent and on the same conditions. The exception is a housing cooperative or a building constructed (or whose use changed) 5 years ago or less: see section F of your lease.
When does a tenant give notice of non-renewal?
If they haven't received a notice of modification: 3 to 6 months before the end of a lease of 12 months or more, 1 to 2 months before the end of a shorter lease or the desired end of an indeterminate one, and 10 to 20 days for a room.
Does this tool tell me how much to raise the rent?
No. It only gives dates. For the amount, use the TAL's official calculation tool.
Is this legal advice?
No. This tool is general information. Confirm the current rules with the Tribunal administratif du logement before sending a notice.
