Choosing your tenant: how do you do it?

During the period of renewal of leases there will inevitably be some moving around of tenants in some buildings and new leases to be signed. However, to what extent can we refuse a candidate for rental housing?

We suggest in any case to carry out a pre-rental evaluation, thus avoiding to rely solely on the appearance of a person, which can be misleading. It is a right that has been granted to rental housing owners, but that must be exercised within the limits provided for by law. For this assessment, the owner must collect only the information necessary for the purpose of his file, from the person concerned. This information, both collected from the tenant applicant and the assessment results, is confidential in accordance with the Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector.
