In a recent case, a tenant sought damages for an eviction obtained in bad faith, despite a transaction and a receipt signed by both herself and the landlord.

The tenant also submits a request because he considers that he has been a victim of harassment. The tenant did not send a formal notice and by the time the request was submitted to the landlord.

The APQ participated in an interview on Radio-Canada Bas-Saint-Laurent : His rental housing ransacked and with about twenty cats abandoned by the tenant.

To protect the lawn and to keep a space to store the snow, the landlord refuses to allow the snow removal company to remove the snow with its tractor no further than the parking lot, i.e. to the shed.

In the case at hand, the tenant sued a representative of the landlord, and not the landlord directly.

The tenant must be rehoused, but he is not insured at the time of the disaster. The owner's insurance and the City of Longueuil confirm that the damage comes from a sewer backup.

There are exceptions, however. Indeed, a tenant could withhold his rent - in very specific exceptional cases - in a legal way.

In many situations, formality is required and the owner must scrupulously comply with the provisions of the law for the notice to be considered valid.
