Frequently asked questions

When does my right to move into the new apartment start?

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.

How do I reserve street space for the truck?

Québec City residents can borrow moving sawhorses free of charge through 311, requesting them at least 48 hours (two business days) ahead and setting them up 24 hours before with the intended dates and times. These citizen-installed signs do not create an enforceable parking reservation.
