Québec residential tenancy
TAL filing fee estimator for Québec (2026)
The filing fee is based on the type of TAL application. For rent-fixing or specified rent-review applications, the current monthly rent determines the official tier. This is a filing fee, not your total legal costs.
Calculate the published 2026 filing tariff
These amounts reflect the official TAL tariff effective April 1, 2026. For a different filing date, check the fee schedule that applied on that date; this calculator is not a historical or future tariff lookup.
Which type of application?
Choose the correct application
A lease-modification or specified rent-review application has a rent-based tariff: $59 when monthly rent is $350 or less; $70 if rent is over $350 and no more than $600; $92 if over $600. Applications about unpaid rent, abandonment and most other standard matters carry $92. Reinstatement or reopening is $47. An application to authorize conversion into divided co-ownership is $226 per dwelling.
Other costs to consider
The fees exclude other expenses
Fees do not include notification, professional assistance or other out-of-pocket costs. A TAL order may address reimbursement under the relevant rules, but don't assume you will recover them. The published schedule also specifies a 3.8% administration charge on rent deposited with TAL, payable by the lessor; that is separate from filing an ordinary application and is not part of this estimator.
Who may qualify for a fee exemption?
Financial-assistance exemption
The official schedule describes an exemption for a person receiving support under a last-resort financial-assistance program. Confirm eligibility directly with TAL before relying on it.
