The TAL applies Québec civil law. The 2026 rent base factor is not a fixed ceiling; landlords generally cannot require security deposits; a special three-year eviction restriction applies to subdivision, enlargement or change of use.
How we handle language and sources
TAL offers English resources but some official rent calculators, required forms and instructions are in French. Our English guides use the official names and link directly to the government pages; check their current instructions before signing or submitting anything.
