While we are in peak moving period, the Administrative Housing Tribunal will remain accessible by telephone on June 30 and July 1.

In a press release released Friday, it specifies that paralegals will be available to respond to requests for information from tenants and landlords from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on June 30 and July 1.

However, there will be no counter service in the offices, underlines the Court. These will reopen at normal time on July 2.

“Situations requiring rapid responses may arise during this turbulent time. The Administrative Housing Tribunal will be there to respond diligently to citizens,” he wrote in his press release.

In Montreal, Laval and Longueuil, concerned citizens can call 514-873-BAIL. In other regions, the number to call is 1-800-683-BAIL.

The Court recalls that “the right of a new tenant to occupy the premises begins on the first day of the lease. The former tenant does not have any “day of grace” to vacate the premises and remove his belongings from the accommodation. He has the obligation to return the accommodation to the condition in which he received it.
