Once the tenant has received the renewal notice, he/she has 30 days to respond, in writing. If the renewal notice is not answered, the lease will be automatically renewed under the new terms. (For more information, please see the Rental Board guidelines and laws at: www.rdl.gouv.qc.ca/fr/droits/lois.asp
If a tenant wants to transfer his/her lease, the following steps have to be taken:
