The Landlord's recourse


As a landlord concerned with giving his tenants the peaceable enjoyment
of the premises rented, it is your obligation to intervene. You are well aware
of being seriously inconvenienced by your noisy tenants. They have taken
absolutely no notice of your warnings and you are therefore entitled to ask
the Régie to cancel their lease. The Régie may then either grant you the
cancellation immediately or order the tenants to stop the noise by a set date.
Should they persist with the racket, the Régie will then cancel their lease at
your request.

 

At the hearing

Whatever course of action you take, you must first apply to the Régie, if the
landlord refuses to take action or the tenant persists in making a racket. You
will both be called to appear at a hearing during which you will have to prove
your allegations.

Bring some witnesses, e.g. members of your family, friends, neighbours who
have been just as inconvenienced as you have or guests who have had the
opportunity to witness the excesses of which you are complaining. Bring also
a copy of the legal notice which you sent the landlord or tenant, as the case
may be. You should also have ready for presentation a list of dates and times
when the noise was unbearable.
