Tenants will have to pay for building work
Isn’t it delightful to have so many landlords in government? A new Quebec law allows landlords to pass on more of the costs of work done on their buildings to the tenants thereof. It was a parting gift of France‑Élaine Duranceau just before last month’s cabinet shuffle.

The old calculation was the amount over 21 years (4.7%/year). Now it’ll be over 20 years (so 5%/year). Is there more to it than that?

I’m also wondering what exactly has changed. If you look at previous years’ TAL rent increase calculation forms they include fields allowing the landlord to pass off these costs to tenants, which to me is the deplorable part, not the precise percentage.

I think the old calculation is 30 years @ steph
