The APQ draws up a portrait of the rental market, which profile do our tenants have?

The Association of Quebec Landlords (APQ) draws up a portrait of the tenants, two days before the comings and goings of moving.

In view of the data provided by the owners on the habits and the behaviour of their tenants, the APQ paints a portrait of the tenants in the rental residences in Quebec:

 

Average rent in 2012: 678.00$

 

If one compares with the study of the rental market of the CMHC (Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation) published in mid-June 2012, the rents reflect the market since the CMHC determined an average at 677,00$
