Why this brief is important

Drawing on its day-to-day experience with senior tenants, CAAP Montérégie would like to share its observations and concerns about the proposed regulatory changes. Our analysis highlights some of the possible effects of these changes, including :

• Potentially higher costs for vulnerable customers on fixed incomes
• Risks of confusion related to lease forms, which can hinder understanding of rights and responsibilities
• The possibility of multiple billing for similar services
• Reduced transparency in calculating rent increases

Our goal: a fair balance

CAAP Montérégie aims to promote a balance between the management needs of operators and the necessary protection of seniors’ rights. With 72% of our clientele aged 70 and over, we realize that legislative and regulatory frameworks have a direct and significant impact on residents’ living conditions.
