A privilege granted to the tenant cannot become a right

Some landlords ask the Régie du logement to order a tenant to vacate the basement of the building that he occupies without right, as well as the two (2) parking spaces that he has illegally appropriated.

The facts
The facts put in evidence show that in the spring of 1997 a lease was entered into on July 1, 1997. This lease was renewed from year to year until June 30, 2016. The building concerned consists of a duplex in which the tenant has occupied for 18 years the housing located on the ground floor, consisting of 5 and a half rooms. Under the lease, the tenant benefits from a parking space inside the garage and has access to the backyard.
