The other option: a surety

Candidate-tenants who do not want to have a roommate or pay a security deposit can offer the landlord a guarantor, i.e. a natural person who can be held jointly and severally liable to repay a debt, if necessary.

On this subject, CORPIQ reminds you that in January, it obtained an interesting judgment from the Court of Quebec that clarifies the rules of surety bonds. Read the CORPIQ article published in the Proprio+ on February 14, 2020. Also use the CORPIQ forms (Rental application, Annexe to the lease) designed to protect you adequately.
