Judge dismisses two tenants attempting to use lease section G to lower rent

In a ruling handed down on August 15, Administrative Judge André Gagnier of the Régie du logement rejected two new tenants’ request to fix the rent. The request was thrown out for lateness, but also because the parties had concluded a valid transaction regarding the rent. The case details led the housing board to excuse the owner for not having written the former rent amount in section G of the lease and to confirm the freely negotiated amount.
