Useful knowledge: In Quebec, residential rents are governed by a public body called the “Régie du logement du Québec” (Quebec Housing Board) (www. rdl.gouv.qc.ca). Several studies on the residential market have been published by a public body called the “Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation” (www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca). ). Buildings in Quebec experience major temperature variations due to the climatic conditions and the roofs, air conditioning and heating appliances must be suitable. Therefore it is very important to always have a property inspected by specialists before purchasing it. Information and contact details for all the municipalities in Quebec are available on the Internet (www.mam.gouv.qc.ca)). Several of these municipalities have their own Web sites. Lastly, you should not forget that the environmental legislation is strict in Quebec, and obviously it is essential to make sure that the property you wish to purchase fulfils requirements in this area.
