Quebec Notice of Rent Deposit

Information for Quebec Tenants

Quebec tenants have the right to pay their rent to the Tribunal administratif du logement if their landlord fails to fulfill obligations under the lease agreement. This option is provided to protect tenants when landlords do not meet their legal responsibilities.

Procedure for Depositing Rent

To initiate this process, tenants must deliver a Notice of Rent Deposit to their landlord, as outlined by article 1907 of the Civil Code of Quebec. Serving this notice is a necessary legal step to inform the landlord about the tenant’s actions.

Purpose of the Notice

The Notice of Rent Deposit formally notifies the landlord that, due to unfulfilled obligations, the tenant has chosen to deposit the rent with the Tribunal administratif du logement instead of paying it directly to the landlord. This process ensures that the tenant’s rent payment is accounted for while protecting their rights under Quebec law.

Form Language
