2025 Rent Adjustment: TAL Recommends a 5.9% Increase
The Tribunal administratif du logement (TAL) has announced its recommended rent adjustment for 2025, suggesting an average increase of 5.9% for residential leases in Quebec. This percentage serves as a guideline for landlords and tenants when negotiating rent increases.
The calculation considers factors such as:
✅ Rising property expenses (e.g., municipal and school taxes, insurance)
✅ Maintenance and repair costs
✅ Inflation and overall market conditions
It’s important to note that the 5.9% increase is not automatic—each rental situation is unique. Landlords can justify higher or lower adjustments based on actual expenses, especially if they have completed major renovations or if operating costs have significantly changed.
To determine a fair rent increase, the TAL provides an online calculation tool where landlords and tenants can enter specific data for their property.
