Quebec Resident Manager Agreement

Overview

This Assignment of Lease Agreement provides Quebec tenants with a structured method to transfer their lease to another tenant. The document is specifically designed for use in the province of Quebec and is intended to facilitate a smooth and legally compliant lease assignment process.

Tenant (Assignor) Responsibilities

The original tenant, also known as the assignor, confirms that the landlord has not issued any notice indicating a refusal to renew the lease. Additionally, the assignor affirms that there have been no modifications or amendments made to the original lease agreement.

New Tenant (Assignee) Responsibilities

The new tenant, referred to as the assignee, agrees to accept the rental premises in its current condition at the time of the assignment. This ensures that the assignee is aware of and accepts the existing state of the property without expecting any additional improvements or changes.

Landlord's Consent

For the lease assignment to become valid and enforceable, the landlord’s formal consent is required. Without the landlord’s approval, the assignment cannot take effect.

Document Features

This legal form is available in English-language version. It is provided in Word format, allowing tenants to fully edit and customize the agreement to fit their unique circumstances.

If your lease is due to expire and you do not intend to renew it, you must serve your landlord with a Notice of Non-Renewal of Lease by Lessee, in accordance with article 1946 of the Civil Code.

• The Notice informs the landlord of your decision not to renew the lease at the end of the term, and sets out the date on which you will vacate the premises.
• The form includes a schedule of time frames for when the notice must be given, based on the term of the lease and the reason for non-renewal.

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.

Important Information for Quebec Landlords

This process is mandated by articles 1942 and 1943 of the Civil Code of Quebec.

Lease Renewal and Modification

When a lease is renewed, landlords must inform tenants if there will be any changes to the lease conditions. This includes notifying the tenant of an increase in rent or any other modifications that will take effect upon renewal.
