Case Won: Repossession of Housing

Case won before the Administrative Housing Court regarding a request for repossession of housing.

Case won before the Administrative Housing Court regarding a request for repossession of housing.

Administrative Judge Rachel Tupula ruled that our client’s long-term plan to reclaim the property was made in good faith, was convincing, and met the criteria set forth in Articles 1957 and 1963 of the Civil Code of Québec.

Since the repossession of the dwelling conflicts with the tenant’s right to remain in the rented premises, it is standard for the Tribunal to award compensation to the tenants to cover moving expenses and the disruption and inconvenience associated with finding new housing.

Our client therefore had to pay $2,300.00 for this purpose. Considering that the tenants had been living in the unit for over a decade, this is a fair and reasonable amount

Would you like to live in a home you own? Do you want your child to be able to move into one of your properties, or perhaps your parents, who are looking forward to enjoying their retirement? However, you’ve rented out the property in question and are worried that the tenant might decide to stay for years to come. After all, the tenant has the right to remain in the property. Don’t worry. As the owner, you have the right to reclaim your property, and we can guide you through this technical procedure.
