New Tenant Landlord Steps

Summary

As a landlord in Quebec, you must prepare a written lease agreement, set rent terms, and conduct a move-in inspection. Security deposits are not allowed. If your unit is in a condominium, ensure your lease aligns with condo rules and notify the administration about your new tenant. Provide the tenants name, contact information, lease start date, and any special conditions. This helps with compliance, security, and communication. Consider registering the lease with the Tribunal administratif du logement (TAL) for added security.
