Non-payment of rent
Addressing Rent Arrears and Solutions
Non-payment of rent is a significant concern for landlords as it can result in financial instability. Quebec's Rental Board, known as the Tribunal administratif du logement (TAL), provides a formal process for addressing this issue. If a tenant fails to pay rent, the landlord can issue a formal notice of non-payment. If the tenant doesn't comply, the landlord can apply to the Tribunal administratif du logement (TAL) for eviction based on non-payment of rent, as outlined in the Quebec Civil Code article.
At HALDER Group, we perform essential tenant verifications before making any commitments, ensuring the uninterrupted flow of passive income for our landlords and tenants. If you encounter challenges in rent collection from your tenant, feel free to contact us without hesitation.
Late rent payments
Strategies for Handling Tardy Rent
In Quebec, landlords have the option to include late fees in the lease agreement, but these charges must comply with the legal limits established by the province. The Tribunal administratif du logement (TAL) oversees the enforcement of these regulations to ensure fairness and adherence to the law. If a tenant falls more than 3 weeks or 21 days behind on their rent, they are considered in default and may be subject to these late fees and interest charges if specified in the lease agreement.
At HALDER Group, we take additional proactive measures to safeguard the interests of our landlords and investors. We have tenants sign additional terms and conditions to enhance protection. If you encounter issues with rent not being paid on time, do not hesitate to reach out to us for assistance.
Damage to the rental property
Addressing and Resolving Issues
Damage to a rental property beyond normal wear and tear is a concern for landlords. According to Article of the Civil Code of Quebec, landlords can deduct repair costs from the security deposit at the end of the tenancy. However, they must follow specific procedures, including providing an itemized list of deductions, to ensure compliance with the law.
Proving such situations at TAL can be challenging unless substantial evidence is readily available for presentation.
At HALDER Group, our proactive approach to prevent such issues is one of the key benefits our investors and landlords enjoy, granting them peace of mind. If your property has incurred damage, don't hesitate to get in touch with us for support.
Unauthorized subletting or occupants
Combatting Unauthorized Occupancy
The Civil Code of Quebec (Article) outlines that tenants must obtain written consent from the landlord for subletting or adding new occupants. If a tenant violates this requirement, the landlord can take legal action. The proliferation of unauthorized short-term rentals is a widespread concern, necessitating vigilance from landlords and investors to safeguard their assets.
At HALDER Group, our stringent proactive measures to shield landlord and investor properties from unauthorized short-term rentals are highly effective. We wholeheartedly advise you to reach out to us if you are dealing with unauthorized subletting or occupants in your property.
Breach of lease terms
Dealing with Lease Agreement Violations
If a tenant breaches the terms of the lease agreement, landlords can issue formal notices outlining the violation and providing an opportunity for the tenant to remedy the situation. If the breaches continue, the landlord can apply to the Tribunal administratif du logement (TAL) for lease termination based on the violations. Hence, it is crucial to establish all terms and conditions clearly from the outset. Failure to adhere to this practice may provide tenants with potential legal loopholes they can exploit to their advantage.
At HALDER Group, our conditions are unambiguously outlined and signed by tenants upon lease agreement, serving as a protective measure for our landlords and investors. If you encounter such challenges, do not hesitate to contact us for prompt assistance.
Noise disturbances
Minimizing Disruptions for Peaceful Living
Lease agreements typically include provisions regarding noise, and violations can be addressed through formal notices in accordance with Quebec's rental laws. An article from the Civil Code of Quebec stipulates that tenants must respect the peaceful enjoyment of their neighbors.
Hence, at HALDER Group, we emphasize the significance of ensuring that the peaceful enjoyment of other tenants is not disrupted, as detailed in the lease with defined restrictions. If you, your tenants, or neighbors are experiencing noise disturbances, please don't hesitate to reach out to us promptly. We are here to support you in fostering a harmonious atmosphere within your property.

Hence, at HALDER Group, this is expressly defined in all our lease agreements. If you discover unauthorized pets in your rental unit, please get in touch with us to explore how we can help you address the matter effectively.

If you encounter violations of these enforced policies or find it challenging to address potential issues, please feel free to reach out to HALDER Group for assistance.
Illegal activities
Ensuring a Lawful Environment

Furthermore, the lessee may assume responsibility for any property damage caused by a third party invited by the tenant or granted access.

We are here to assist you in resolving such matters promptly.
Refusal to allow access
