Québec residential tenancy
Québec 2024–2027 eviction moratorium explained
A Québec government moratorium began June 6, 2024 and generally restricts eviction for subdivision, substantial enlargement or a change of use for three years, subject to exceptions. It does not automatically prohibit all landlord repossessions.
Scope of the moratorium
The restriction is about subdivision, major enlargement and changes of residential use. Cases involving demolition, allowed exceptional situations or historically served notices require separate analysis.
Dates and transitional rules
The date a notice was sent and whether a tenant accepted before particular 2024 transition dates can matter. Do not use a historical eviction form simply because it remains listed in the TAL forms directory.
Owner-occupancy is different
A landlord seeking to repossess for personal occupation must comply with distinct rules, including notice and protections for certain older tenants.
If a notice arrives
Keep the entire notice and envelope or electronic delivery record. Before signing an agreement to vacate or missing a response date, check the current TAL guidance and exceptions.
