Buildings
Across the City of Montréal, 70.0% of the 816,355 occupied dwellings in 2021 were apartments in a duplex or a building under five storeys, 16.0% were in buildings of five or more storeys and 13.9% were single-family houses.[1]
Heritage
A borough-commissioned study calls the triplex the Plateau's typical housing form: the most-built type in the 1904–1914 boom, with a front setback, an exterior staircase and an L-shaped plan, it stayed popular into the 1940s.[2][3]
Heritage
The City's heritage evaluation of Verdun describes the 1re-to-6e Avenue sector as dense, mostly three-storey brick buildings with exterior staircases, built from the start of the 20th century on lots served by H-shaped lanes.[4]
Building rules
Before a Québec lease is concluded, the landlord must give the tenant a copy of any building by-laws on the use and upkeep of dwellings and common areas; those by-laws then form part of the lease.[5]
Lease
Once a Québec tenant gives notice that they are leaving, they must allow visits by prospective tenants and a for-rent sign; they may refuse visits before 9 a.m. or after 9 p.m., except in an emergency.[6][7]
Lease
The TAL reminds Québec landlords to deliver the dwelling in good condition on the agreed date and to inspect it after the departing tenant has left.[8]

At the end of a Québec lease, the tenant must remove their belongings and return the dwelling in the condition received, except for ageing, normal wear or force majeure. If no assessment of its condition was recorded, it is presumed to have been received in good condition.
In Québec, a new tenant's right to occupy starts on the first day of the lease and the outgoing tenant gets no grace day; if their move isn't finished, they must give the incoming tenant access to the dwelling.
In Ville-Marie, a moving-truck permit is required to post no-parking signs, use metered spaces, move on a pedestrian street or place a container for a move abroad. Parking in legal free spaces without signs needs no permit provided the sidewalk is not obstructed. In Le Sud-Ouest, a moving-truck permit is required to post no-parking signs or use metered spaces. On a street without meters, an arrangement with neighbours must still respect parking rules and keep the sidewalk clear.
