Repossession of apartment granted although notice not in compliance with the law

In a decision made last winter by Administrative Judge Francine Jodoin, the Régie du logement ruled that the absence of the statement regarding senior tenants that the Civil Code of Québec now requires in a repossession notice did not necessarily invalidate the owner’s request. The notice could be considered valid under certain conditions. The owners asked to repossess the unit, and their request was granted.
