- Your address
- An ounce of spare time
Many times when people sign a lease for a new dwelling they do not do so with the landlord of the building but the property manager or a representative of the landlord. Generally it is this person’s contact information that is listed on the lease. This person is an employee of your landlord and as such, over time, the person holding this position may change. When issues arise you must contact your landlord or their representative; sometimes you may be uncomfortable speaking to them or you may not even know who they are. So, how do you find your landlord? Great question! Time to look up the municipal directory of property owners. Please note that this works for Montreal only.
