The Régie du Logement is a specialized tribunal that
deals with residential lease issues. Its mission includes
ruling on applications as well as informing citizens on their rights and obligations related to the lease so as to avoid conflicts occuring due to the ignorance of the law and in
promoting conciliation between landlords and tenants.
The Régie also keeps a watch, in certain circumstances,
on the conservation of the housing stock and, in those cases, makes sure
that the rights of the tenants and landlords are protected.
