Rental Tips
Renting out your property the right way
The right habits to adopt and the mistakes to avoid, for a rental with no bad surprises.
Do
Set rent at a fair market price
Compare with similar units in the same neighbourhood to avoid overpricing or underpricing your property.
Screen candidates thoroughly
References, proof of income and rental history before signing a lease.
Document the move-in condition
Photos and a detailed condition report when handing over the keys, to avoid disputes at move-out.
Respond quickly to requests
Responsive maintenance prevents bigger problems and keeps good tenants around.
Don't
Skip the written lease
A verbal or incomplete lease exposes you to unnecessary legal risk.
Ignore your legal obligations
Failing to comply with Quebec's legal framework (Act 25, Tribunal administratif du logement) can be costly.
Delay repairs
Small issues left unaddressed often turn into much bigger expenses.
Manage alone without support
Professional support avoids costly mistakes and saves time.
