In order to modify the tenants` rental conditions, the lessor should have notified them within the prescribed period (art. 1942 C.C.Q.), which it did not do. A letter of resignation requires a short, precise and somewhat formal structure. It should contain the essentials, for example: the landlord`s mere assertion that the tenant`s consumption of cannabis results in the loss of tenants is not sufficient to grant the landlord`s claim for reinsurance of the lease. The notice of repossession contains a date error as it indicates that the landlord intends to repossess the apartment at the end of the lease, i.e. in January 2019. When a residential lease reaches the end of its validity, it is automatically renewed without notice. The lease is extended for the same period (with the exception of a lease for a period of 12 months or more, which is only extended by 12 months). If you need to break your lease, you will need to send a notice of termination to the landlord.

In most states, you must give at least 30 days` notice and you must leave before the 30-day expiration. Sixty days` notice of termination of the lease is even better, and some states require it. Sixty days usually give the landlord time to find another tenant. If you and a roommate have signed a lease for an apartment and your roommate dies, you are still a tenant. You can stay, but now you have to pay all the rent yourself. The landlord therefore implicitly waived his right to arbitrate the lease for non-compliance with the order. ** A rental agreement cannot be terminated by paying a penalty.** Do not forget to negotiate with the landlord before referring the matter to the Régie du logement. Keep copies of all correspondence between you, the landlord and the Régie du logement. All communications must be made in writing and sent by registered mail. Chances are you`re not the only one whose rent has been unfairly increased, so try talking to other tenants in your building so you can deal with the landlord as a group. Declaration of family residence Information from the Ministry of Justice If you wish to leave your apartment at the end of the rental and not during the rental, you must inform the owner. This is called a notice of non-renewal of the lease.

If, after a conversation with the landlord, you still believe that the increase is unjustified, you can contact the Régie du Logement (514-873-2245) to ask them to assess whether the increase is justified or not. This should be done within 10 days of signing the lease if the landlord has informed you of the amount of rent paid by the previous tenant and within 2 months if the landlord has not done so. . Do not allow a tenant to terminate their lease. The tenant can always try to reach an agreement with the landlord. Remember that any agreement between the landlord and tenant must be in writing. The landlord asks for lease insurance. The Régie takes note of the lease insurance and grants the landlord US$1,290, or 3 months` rent. Several factors can influence the decision of an administrative judge. For example, a clause in the lease, the relevance and quality of the evidence provided, etc. In summary, it can be said that each case is different and that each decision depends on the evidence presented to the court.

There are many reasons why you may want to leave your place before the end of the lease. For example, you might move to study or work elsewhere, you might have bought a house, or you might not get along with your roommate. Remember that you only have 30 days to respond to written notice from your landlord, otherwise your lease will be automatically extended by an additional 12 months to the rent offered by the landlord. The 3-month notice period does not apply in this case.
