Fiches conseils

• Before the work begins, the landlord must give the tenant a 10 days' notice
  if the tenant does not need to leave the dwelling or if the vacancy is not for
  more than one week.
• If the tenant must leave the dwelling for more than one week, the notice must
  be given at least 3 months before the evacuation.
• During the term of the lease, the landlord may not increase the rent of the dwelling 
  because of the major work that he has done. However, he may do so at the end of the
  lease, provided notice is given in accordance with the law.
• Furthermore, the landlord may not modify any other conditions of the lease during the
  term of that lease. For example, if the landlord was assuming heating costs for the
  dwelling, he must continue to do so until the end of the lease, even if the repairs involved
  replacing the old oil furnace, which heated the entire building, by a new system which
  heats the dwellings individually.
• When the work is completed, the landlord must return the dwelling in a clean condition, 
  otherwise the tenant may file a complaint with the Régie.
