QC-992: Bill 992: An Act to create a committee responsible for making recommendations concerning the criteria for the fixing or adjustment of rent

This bill directly affects residential landlords in Quebec — from individual property owners renting out a single unit to larger building owners managing multiple apartment units. Day-to-day, landlords set and adjust rents based on criteria established by the Administrative Housing Tribunal, and this committee will now formally shape those criteria through a structured review process. Tenant advocacy groups and landlord associations will have a formal channel to influence rent calculation rules, meaning the outcomes could affect how much landlords can legally charge or increase rent each year. The impact is province-wide across Quebec and applies regardless of portfolio size, since the rent-fixing framework applies broadly to residential leases.
