Repossession of a housing

Repossession of a housing

In order to repossess a dwelling, a notice must be sent indicating that one intends to repossess the dwelling. This notice must be detailed and comply with the provisions of the Civil Code of Québec. If you miss a portion of the notice, it could be declared invalid and your initiative will be doomed to failure. The time frame within which the notice must be sent is extremely important.

Let's first take the example of the best-known regular lease, that is, a 12-month lease. At this time, the notice must be sent at least 6 months before the end of the lease. If your lease, for instance, is a lease from July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019, your notice must be sent no later than December 31, 2018.
