Renting Without Bed Bugs: Tenant Rights in Quebec

Renting in Montreal and dodging bed bugs? Your rights can protect you. In 2025, Montreal’s infestation surge (40x since 2005) makes tenant power key for North Shore or South Shore rentals. Here’s how Quebec law backs you up.

Your Tenant Rights

• Landlord Duty: Fix infestations within 10 days—contact Tribunal administratif du logement (TAL).
• Inspection Request: Demand a pro check if you spot signs.
• Rent Withhold: Legal if landlord neglects—consult TAL.
• Heat Preference: Push for 50-60°C treatment.

Your Prevention Role

• Report Early: Notify landlord of bites/eggs.
• Avoid Spread: Seal clothes, vacuum unit.
• OMH Support: HLMs get help—ask for it.
