Rentals, maintenance and safety: the rules tenants and landlords need to know.

I'm looking for

  • Learn more about how to handle issues around unsanitary conditions, eviction or repossession notices, rent increases and discrimination. Find out more about your rights and ways to approach these situations.

  • Here you’ll find key things to watch out for adequate and habitable housing, actions you can take if your home is unfit for habitation, and how an inspection is carried out.

  • Do you want to rent your home to tourists on platforms like Airbnb? You must comply with municipal by-laws and the province’s Tourist Accommodation Act.

  • Social and community housing is developed by cooperatives, non-profit organizations and the Office municipal d’habitation de Montréal. It is subsidized by the city’s community housing program and that of the Québec government.
