How can the landlord correct a request submitted to the Régie by an unauthorized person?

In general, the conditions of admissibility of a legal action are interest, capacity and quality. The applicant must have a sufficient interest to be able to submit a request to the Régie du logement.

When a request is signed by a person other than the applicant, even if the latter is correctly identified as the applicant on the procedure, such a request is contaminated by a flawed procedure. Sometimes the request of a landlord is submitted by an agent who is the manager of the dwelling belonging to the landlord. Moreover, the request may be signed by the daughter or the son of the landlord. This flaw in the procedure may lead to the rejection of the request. Otherwise, how can we remedy this defect?
