Oui pour l'agent present ou le proprio je sais. Mais l'agente j'ai zero confiance en elle, je la deteste solide. Le proprio peut pas dire je le porte dans mon coeur non plus, et on s'est pogner solide quand les procedur on commencé, a un point de se crier apres. Meme ma mere sa m'enerve parce qu'elle les suis pas... a tellement peur de mal paraitre. Moi je suis partout, a chaque piece puis thats it. J'suis peut-etre nerveux pour rien mais j'suis tres territorial comme gars. J'ai pas temps peur de me faire voler mais plus qu'ils fouillent dans mes affair. Genre ma chambre la fenetre on peut pas l'ouvrir, j'ai un bureau devant, pas le gout qui commence a le tasser pour aller voir... On dirais le monde on une manie de vouloir voir les fenetres, ces bizarre...

Faudrais vraiment je rapelle a regie pour etre sur pour les visites... je sais bin je peut pas tout les refuser, mais genre metton si je vais a MTL, si je peut en refuser une cette journee la genre.

Look behind you.
So we could end up having to move in the winter, ...

I am not sure about Quebec laws but I think a landlord can not kick someone out during certain winter month and you even have a lease.

Oui Definitivement
Les droits de visite ne son pas un droit absolue le comportement raisonnable des deux partie va de soi ,si tu refuse les visites ces aux proprietaire a s'adresser a la Regie afin d'obtenir une ordonnance de visite j'ai vecu ces situation moi même en tant que representant du proprietaire.
L'acces au logement sans l'autoristion du locataire est que dans les d'urgence la visite du logement dans le but de vendre n'est pas un urgence donc ,fait toi respecter !

Just ask to be given a 24 hr notice before a visit, if they want to reclaim the apt. they ( new landlord )

must give you 6 months written notice, only if a family member ( only parents or children ) moves in.

The laws in Quebec suck, they essentially only protect the low wage earners get 3 or more months rent

free while some landlords end up losing tens of thousands $$, each year.

They always gives a 24 hour notice, that is pretty much standard procedure. There was a guy friday who knock on the door and asked my mother how the price was, and if he could visit, despite her saying she was not the owner, she politely mention he had to go trough the agent. I bet its him this morning that is gonna come. Good news was if he would buy its for renting so we shall be ok to stay here. But there was no way the guy would visit just like that on the moment. So yes the 24 hours period is respected, BUT it does NOT solve everything. As i mentioned, there is days or certain hours that don't fit well with me or my mother, so far we have been more or less imposed to accept the time given... So this is why if what booker and you mention happen to be true(that we do can refuse some times) then it would really help. For exemple this morning.. its 8 am, visit is at 11, im tired... i wish i could go to sleep but i must remain up for that damn visit... 3 more hours to go and it will make me go to sleep at shitty hours, so ill wake up even more at shitty hours. If the visit would had been in PM, i could had go to sleep early morning and wake up around 1 pm... I know i know, not your common hours but for me it is...

As for the 6 months notice, booker above said they have to respect the "bail" , the contract, but you say they have to give 6 months..??

And i don't think personally the laws are that much in favors of the renters... if they end up loosing money its more or less because of there own fault. Of course i exclude bad paying persons and such but that enter another category. But when it come to loosing 1 or 2 months of renting or whatever, if its because they decided to sell or want to move in and have to pay for convenience fee, then thats there problems.

Actually would i decide these laws, a renter would have total control of EVERYTHING in his renting place. Think about it this way, does the car compagny comes to your home check the car your renting... Does the video club call you to bring back the movie you rented couple hours ago because they need to check something? When you rent its more or less not yours until the rent is over. Thats how it should work.

Maybe its me thats too hardcore, but like i said im very protective of my home. NOBODY should be allow without my consent.

I don't know anything about Quebec law but here the lease usually says there must be 24 hours notice of any visits by the landlord. As I mentioned in the AirBnB thread I rented for 7 years before I bought my place in 2002. I had 2 landlords and they were nosy like Mr. Roper on Three's Company. The last one drove me crazy and I was so relieved when the lease ended. I never wanted to see that guy again.

I have done a few trials in the housing court. The one I remember best was when I represented the cheap-ass landlord who owns the building where our firm is located. He also had some residential rental properties. He sued a hot young Italian girl about same age as HM, for back rent. She claimed the apartment was freezing cold because he was a cheap-ass who had not fixed a door so that a draft was stopped. She represented herself and did a nice job as a pro se party, but I of course was too experienced and savvy for her, and I got a judgment against her. This was before a female judge too, who bent over backwards to level the playing field at trial for this sassy self-represented lady. She paid every cent of the judgment we got against her too, and then harassed me until I filed a Satisfaction of Judgment. I told her to send the Satisfaction of Judgment to the credit reporting agencies- this was done purely as a favor to her, because I respected her feistiness in Court, even though she went down to defeat.

Salut HM le changement de serrure tels que propose constitue une pratique interdites !!!
http://www.leproprietaire.org/fr/10...ment-serrure-loi-régie-logement-locataire.htm
Le texte de loi 1934. Aucune serrure ou autre mécanisme restreignant l'accès à un logement ne peut être posé ou changé sans le consentement du locateur et du locataire.

Le tribunal peut ordonner à la partie qui ne se conforme pas à cette obligation de permettre à l'autre l'accès au logement.

.
Hi Mike
The 6 months notice is mandatory end must be provided at the latest December 31 st 2014 for a lease agreement ending July 1st 2015 the tenure take place before that date
Its very technical 6 months is true but not apply starting from the sale of the property !
Big difference as for the rest the law does set a quantum its provides parameters in witch the tenant and landlord are able to negotiate time tables
nothing is in concrete you get to choose but you must be reasonable both it does apply to both parties
Best of luck

Reprise de logement : Conditions, délais et avis

Voici les delais d'avis de reprise de possesion ,ils sont de rigueur ,ce qui veux dire que si il ne son pas respecte le tribunal rejettera la demande sans aller plus loin sur le fonds
REPRISE DE LOGEMENT : CONDITIONS, DÉLAIS ET AVIS

Montréal, le 4 décembre 2008 – La Régie du logement désire rappeler les principales dispositions de la loi en matière de reprise d’un logement résidentiel. La personne qui souhaite acquérir un immeuble à logements ou une maison déjà loués à un locataire, doit être bien avisée des règles applicables et des délais légaux à respecter pour pouvoir en reprendre possession.

Le propriétaire peut reprendre un logement, s’il en est le seul propriétaire, ou s’il n’y a qu’un seul autre copropriétaire et que ce dernier est son conjoint. Le propriétaire du logement visé par la reprise doit aussi en être le locateur.

Le propriétaire peut alors reprendre le logement à la fin du bail pour les fins suivantes :
l’habiter lui-même ;
y loger ses ascendants ou descendants au premier degré (père, mère, enfants) ;
y loger tout autre parent, ou parent par alliance, dont il est le principal soutien ;
y loger son conjoint, s’il en demeure le principal soutien après un divorce, une séparation de corps ou la dissolution d'une union civile (ceci ne s’applique pas aux conjoints de fait).


Le propriétaire doit tout d’abord donner au locataire un avis écrit de son intention de reprendre le logement, dans les délais suivants :
au moins 6 mois avant la fin du bail, si le bail est de plus de six mois ;
au moins 6 mois avant la date souhaitée pour la reprise, si le bail est d’une durée indéterminée ;
au moins un mois avant la fin du bail, si le bail est de six mois ou moins.

Par exemple, pour les baux d’un an se terminant le 30 juin 2009, le propriétaire est tenu d’aviser le locataire au plus tard le 31 décembre 2008.

L’avis doit indiquer :
la date prévue pour la reprise ;
le nom de la personne visée par la reprise ;
le degré de parenté ou le lien de cette personne avec le propriétaire.

À compter de la date où le locataire reçoit cet avis, il dispose d’un mois pour aviser le propriétaire de son intention de s’y conformer ou non. Si le locataire répond qu’il refuse de quitter, le propriétaire peut, dans le mois du refus, demander au tribunal de l’autoriser à reprendre le logement.

Le locataire qui omet de répondre est réputé avoir refusé de quitter le logement. Le propriétaire peut alors demander la reprise du logement dans le mois suivant l’expiration du délai qu’avait le locataire pour répondre à l’avis.

Si le propriétaire ne dépose pas sa demande d'autorisation de reprendre le logement à la Régie du logement, le locataire conserve alors son droit d'occuper le logement.

À l’audience devant le tribunal, le propriétaire doit démontrer qu’il entend réellement reprendre le logement pour les fins mentionnées dans l’avis donné au locataire, et que la reprise n’est pas un prétexte pour atteindre d’autres fins.

Lorsque le tribunal autorise la reprise du logement, il peut imposer les conditions qu’il estime justes et raisonnables, y compris le paiement au locataire d'une indemnité équivalente aux frais de déménagement.

Le locataire peut recouvrer les dommages-intérêts résultant d’une reprise obtenue de mauvaise foi, qu’il ait consenti ou non à cette reprise.

Il est à noter qu’en matière de reprise, les copropriétaires d’un immeuble locatif acquis avant 1988 bénéficient de droits acquis : il est conseillé de s’en informer auprès de la Régie du logement.

Pour tout renseignement supplémentaire, on peut consulter le site Internet de la Régie du logement au www.rdl.gouv.qc.ca.

From my experience the laws in Quebec are fair concerning rentals, I would even say they slightly lean in the favor of the tenant.

That being said, like mentioned above NO owner, current or new can have you removed BEFORE your lease is up. The only way that would be possible is if you haven't paid your rent (and even that would take months) or if you are violent or aggressive to other tenants in the building, that is a whole other can or worms. Not only can they NOT remove you, they are obligated to renew your lease with you (as long as you both have agreed on money) unless they show proof that your apartment is needed for a immediate family member, not friends or cousins, mother/father/brother/sister ONLY.

As for the visits, as unpleasant as they might be to you the owner has the right to sell his building to whomever and whenever he pleases. You have rights but so does he. He would never be able to do so if any potential buyer couldn't see what he was buying. I surely wouldn't (nor you) buy anything sight unseen.

I was in a situation about 8 years ago when I had some liquidity issues and needed to sell one of my properties quickly. It helped me to potentially avoid a personal bankrupcy.

If what you guys are saying about Quebec Law is true, HM should be going to an attorney and having him send the landlord a cease and desist letter and threatening to take actions with the Attorney General of Quebec and/or pursuing unfair trade practice claims if they apply to landlord-tenant transactions. There is also an equitable remedy called specific performance in which the Court can be requested to order the landlord to perform his lease obligations which may be available under Quebec law. Go talk to a landlord-tenant or housing attorney!!!!!!!!!!!!

Talking about these issues on an escort review board is equivalent to bending over and taking it in the ass. You will only change the outcome by going to a local housing attorney dude.

Hi all
Yes certainly a escort board is definitely not the best place to have legal advices !!
Each and every case having is differences with is own set of event !
Since laws and laws applications are so technical that any event not explain would or could change the outcome !
Law is complicated either its civil law like in this scenario but does not come less complicated in criminal cases !!!
Or discussing new laws and law Bills !!!
Talking about these issues on an escort review board is equivalent to bending over and taking it in the ass.

Well talking about this on an escort board did help me guys. I know some of you have more life experienced than i do, or works in professions you may be dealing with those kind of situations. I don't have the money to go see an attorney in my region, so this is out of question. Lets just say what i asked here was "friend advice" :)

As for the visits, as unpleasant as they might be to you the owner has the right to sell his building to whomever and whenever he pleases. You have rights but so does he. He would never be able to do so if any potential buyer couldn't see what he was buying. I surely wouldn't (nor you) buy anything sight unseen.

Of course, but the problem is there is always a way to make them fit at better times and such. Since they started, first of all the principal house agent pretty much demanded(not ask) that we clean and move stuff for those. I do agree that some part of the appartement did needed cleaning. For exemple we don't use a door, so that "corner" was another place where we put stuff. It remain a door, so it was right that we had to remove the stuff from there for the visits. On the other hand asking for cleaning of the basement(wich is what we call in french, une cave de base, pas un sous sol finis) is something that i tough should not had been asked at all. We did managed to make it a bit more decent, and at least the owner did came to help cleaning the stuff he had let here(probably from previous renters) that was not even ours... The basement is still a bit packed but way better.

Then there is the extra room. The reason why we kept the place after my grand mothers death is because we wanted her former room for storage. YES we do have a lot of stuff. She was asking this to be clean nearly to a point of making it look like a real bedroom... Huh sorry but NO, this is a storage room, stuff we can't store in the basement(due to humidity and dirt) Like i said the issues about the former bed of my grand mother(matelas-somier) being on the wall is a classic exemple. What if we would had want to keep those in case of people staying here ocasionally... Keeping an extra set can always be helpfull... But no she wanted them gone. Sure it was our intention anyway to change them(mine where done) but this is just to show you it was not her right to ask such thing, or DEMAND such thing as she was completely unpolite and barking orders...

It did get a little better lately but when this whole thing started it was really a disaster. House agent being a complete **** , owner not knowing anything either and taking what she said for granted... For exemple i spent 20 min arguing with him that i should be in the room they visit, that i could follow them, and i was right, the regie informed me of it, but he didn't wanted be to do so...

So was our place dirty? NO, exep maybe the basement a bit, afterall its a basement, but it was indeed packed, but this is our stuff, and we have the right to have it. If we would not have this stuff, we would rent a 4 1/2, not a 5 1/2.

The house agent ordering us to sent stuff to the garbage or giving it to the poor people was extremely out of place.

And to get back on the visit time, like i said, of course they have to happen if the owner want to sell, but they can be more convenient in times, on days that work better for us, and also a thing that bug me really much is 2 times they did that, they unlock doors we don't use, open lights in rooms and don't close them/lock them. Thanksfully i saw them checking the door, but what if i would not had been there? Or didn't saw them? That door could have remain unlocked..

Thats all details maybe but details they should be aware and not do.

And last, what really annoys me is all the unserious buyers.. the ones that just want to come sniffing around...

And i forgot, the owner is a bit stupid if you ask me, selling in july... thats dumb. Everybody knows best time to sell is febuary. People don't want to buy a house if they just renew there rent for another year. I feel he just wanted to secure himself our payments before annoncing it, cause if he would had tell us in febuary he was gonna sell, we would had NOT renew, to avoid all of this trouble. But who would take an appartement if they know they may have to move again in a year...? not much people, so he knew he would lost payments if he didn't manage to sell...

The Régie du logement decides in first instance, to the exclusion of any tribunal :

IHM should be going to an attorney and having him send the landlord a cease and desist letter and threatening to take actions with the Attorney General of Quebec
Hi Beav
So every known how it works in Quebec here is the text and link
http://www.rdl.gouv.qc.ca/en/accueil/competence.asp
The Régie du logement decides in first instance, to the exclusion of any tribunal :
on any application respecting the lease of a dwelling where the sum claimed or the value of the thing claimed or of the interest of the applicant in the object of the application is less than $ 70 000;
on any application, whatever the amount, concerning a lease renewal, a rent fixing, a repossession, a division of the dwelling, a change of destination or a substantial enlargement of the dwelling or the lease of a dwelling in low-rental housing.

The Régie du logement also decides on any application pertaining to the conservation of dwellings and the protection of tenants :
demolition of a dwelling where there is no municipal regulation that provides for it;
sale of a rental building within a building complex;
converting residential buildings to divided co-ownership.

The jurisdiction of the Régie du logement governs :
leases relating to the services, accessories and dependencies of a dwelling;
the lease of a mobile home placed on a chassis or of land intended for the emplacement of a mobile home;
the lease of a room, except if situated in a health or social services institution (except pursuant to article 1974 of the civil code of Quebec) or in a hotel establishment or if not more than two rooms are rented or offered for rent in the principal residence of the landlord and if the room has neither a separate entrance from the outside nor sanitary facilities separate from those used by the landlord.

However, the jurisdiction of the Régie does not cover the lease of a dwelling leased as a vacation resort nor the lease of a dwelling in which over one-third of the total floor area is used for purposes other than residential.

The Régie can also revise its own decisions concerning an application where the sole object is the fixing or the revision of the rent.

Other decisions rendered by the Régie can be appealed with the permission of a judge of the Court of Quebec, with the exception of :
the recovery of a debt not exceeding $ 7 000;
an authorization to deposit rent;
an application concerning the conservation of dwellings.

I don't have the money to go see an attorney in my region, so this is out of question.

Then you have no choice but to represent yourself. You can handle the case pro se. You have to stand up for your rights because if you don't do so, nobody will, and you will walk through life as a humble and defeated man. Others will also take advantage of you when they see this.

In my career, I have been a trial attorney in many courts - small claims, Housing Court, State Civil Courts and Criminal Courts. I have had trials against pro se parties, self represented, mostly in the small claims and Housing Court venues. In my experience in Connecticut and New York where I am also licensed, Judges bend over backwards to "level the playing field" for pro se parties, so if that is what you are nervous about, lose that nervousness.

In my career, I did lose a case in small claims court to a pro se litigant, but only because my client's case sucked monkey balls. Sometimes you take a case that sucks monkey balls if that client brings you business or you have another good case with her, and I took the case only because we had this lady's car accident case which was really good. So she came to me and said "I need you to file a lawsuit because my friend gave away my dog and I want my dog back." What happened was my client went into drug rehab (she had a problem with heroin) and while she was in rehab she left the dog with a friend. She claims she told the friend that she would come and get the dog when she came out of rehab. The friend decided the woman was in no condition to care for the dog and believed she knew that and wanted to find a new home for the dog, so she gave the dog away to a family with kids.

I knew this case sucked dick from Day 1 when she came in, but in this situation, when the client has another really good case or gives your office business or both, you fight for her. So I had to sue the family that had the dog and the friend. I brought the case in small claims court seeking replevin since my client wanted the dog back, paid $300 for it and did not want the money. I was a young attorney at the time and this was a bit of a mistake because in small claims court the playing field gets leveled for pro se parties in a big way, and because of the replevin request I could have gone in the State Superior Court "regular docket". This would have made things harder for the other side, although also incurring more expense on our side.

At trial the dog's new owners brought in a couple witnesses who killed my client. They basically testified that my client told the friend that she was no longer in condition to care for the dog due to her drug addiction, and to find a new owner. The friend also testified that is how she interpreted the instructions she got from my client. My client denied this, and testified she told the friend she wanted her doggie back when she got out of rehab. The Magistrate did not believe her, and I took my defeat.

That is the only trial I remember losing in small claims or any other court to a pro se party. I lost because the case sucked monkey balls. I have also won many trials in small claims, Housing and other courts against pro ses and less experienced attorneys, either because their cases sucked monkey balls, because they were outclassed and could not think on their feet as well as me, or in some cases both. However I have seen some pro se litigants really handle themselves well in Court and even though I beat them, it was not a complete ass-whipping. I mentioned the case I brought against that feisty Italian tenant about your age HM. I found her very attractive and smart but the law was against her on the issue she had, unfortunately for her, and she went down in defeat. I later told her she did a great job for a pro se because once the trial is over, there are no hard feelings. I have also congratulated attorneys I have beaten if I thought they did a good job. I recall one trial I won in Danbury against another attorney who had a property damage case that sucked so bad that the Judge was trying to suppress his laughter during evidence, but this guy did a tremendous job on cross examination of my clients, and with his closing statement, and he made a total suck-ass case reasonably close. It was a defeat he could be proud of.

You have to gear up for some Court action HM. Perhaps you can get a free consultation on your case from a local attorney and at a minimum get proper coaching. I have coached a few of my clients on small claims cases and housing matters and how to handle them when they called me and asked for help. Good luck.

It is important to know that the rules of procedure in court shall apply to all equally. If you decide to act alone, you do not get any special treatment. You must know the rules to follow, understand these rules and abide by them.BookerL

While this is quite true on the regular dockets, I think in Housing Matters and Small Claims the rules of evidence get relaxed and the playing field is leveled for the pro se litigants. I have seen it happen in Connecticut. In Connecticut, small claims decisions are final and not appealable, and the result is that the Magistrate can do whatever he/she wants with no Appellate Court looking over their shoulder. So HM should ask if this is also the case in the Quebec court of jurisdiction for his case. There is also a small claims branch of the Housing Court here and not sure if they have the same thing in Quebec or not as I did see a reference to monetary jurisdiction in a prior post.
