Tenants are using lease transfers 'incorrectly,' says Que. housing minister

Quebec Housing Minister France-Élaine Duranceau says tenants have been misusing lease transfers to maintain rental charges low. Duranceau was questioned by reporters Monday over proposed modifications to Quebec housing regulation. If handed, Invoice 31 would give landlords extra powers to cease their tenants from transferring their lease – a long-used mechanism to keep away from a rental improve throughout a changeover.
