RENTORS AND LANDLORDS: Repossession in 2027: No response from your tenant means a refusal
West Island landlords, take note — and take note soon. If you are planning to repossess a dwelling for a lease ending next summer, a key deadline is coming up on December 31, 2026.
For a 12-month lease ending June 30, 2027, the repossession notice must be sent no later than 6 months before the end — so by Dec 31, 2026. And if you send it at the last minute, registered mail is the only way to prove you met the deadline, according to the APQ.
Once your tenant gets it, they have one month to respond. If they don't respond, they're presumed to have refused — and you then have one month from that refusal to apply to the Tribunal administratif du logement.
