FYI The INFO-Neige app no longer free for users—is it worth $4.99 every 6 months?

311 Montréal app is free... but it's nothing like the INFO-Neige app, eh.

C'est dommage. :(

A new method for calculating #rent in Québec came into effect January 1, 2026...

The new rules are meant to simplify how #rentalincreases are calculated and rent hikes should remain tied to the #costofliving, but tenants still do not have access to all the information landlords use to calculate increases, making it difficult to know if rent is fair, etc.

Quebec's revised rent rules come into effect

A new method for calculating rent in Quebec came into effect Thursday. The government says the rules are meant to simplify how increases are calculated for tenants and landlords.

"I remember a conversation I had outside of a debate where residents were telling me Spectre de Rue was destroying the neighbourhood by letting people loiter outside, but that the organization was also doing a massive expansion to bring more people in. They said it would “surely turn that stretch of Ontario Street into Vancouver’s East Hastings.” Both were problems. Neither were true. Spectre de Rue has been in the same location, which they own, for the last 25 years. Their “massive expansion” was a 300 square-foot room, extending into their own backyard, for inhalation services. The candidates for the district would pay lip service to these organizations and say publicly that they are “essential,” and then go behind their backs and have meetings with small tenants’ groups telling them they’d move these same supervised consumption sites on day one. They did so knowing full well that moving a supervised consumption site is next to impossible and all you’d really achieve is closing them down and worsening the problem for everyone."

Étude de l’UMQ | Le coût des trottoirs et des bâtiments municipaux explose

Les nouveaux trottoirs ne sont pas plus beaux, mais ils coûtent 72 % plus cher à construire qu’il y a dix ans. Un chalet de parc, deux fois plus cher. Une explosion due à la hausse généralisée des prix dans la construction, mais aussi à l’ajout de normes et l’amélioration des bâtiments, révèle une étude commandée par l’Union des municipalités du Québec (UMQ). L’organisation parle d’un constat « clair et brutal » et appelle le gouvernement à réagir.
