gnb.ca: rent increase (with embedded calculator) →Quebec: an estimation, not a cap
Quebec has no fixed rent cap. For notices given on or after January 1, 2026, the TAL publishes applicable percentages that estimate a reasonable increase for negotiation or for the TAL to fix rent if the tenant contests it: base percentage 3.1%, services of a personal nature 6.7%, capital expenditures 5%. A tenant can contest an increase at the TAL within one month of receiving notice.
The TAL's own calculation tool is French only.
