Can the Régie du logement invalidate a certificate from a public officer made under section 1974.1 of the C.c.Q.?

Issue at stake
Does a notice duly sent under Section 1974.1 of the Civil Code of Québec (C.c.Q.) become invalid if the complaint for sexual assault is not retained?


The facts
The tenant has left the dwelling on July 31, 2012. The owner re-rents a portion of the housing, i.e. a room, beginning in October 2012. The entire apartment is re-rented on January 1, 2013. The landlord claims $4510.00 for the loss of five months’ rent, having already deducted the rent of the room rented since 1 October 2012.
