Estimate based on the 2026 TAL method, for information only. Taxes and insurance are building-wide; the unit share allocates the increase. Not legal advice.

The tool computes the applicable rent increase under the Tribunal administratif du logement (TAL) method in force for 2026: a base percentage on the rent (3.1% for the 2026 cycle), plus the portion of municipal-tax, school-tax and insurance increases that exceeds that base percentage, plus a share of capital expenditures — all pro-rated by the unit's share of the building.

The full method, the notice calendar, the tenant's right to refuse and the Clause F exemption for recent buildings are explained in the rent-increase guide below. The trajectory of your rents toward market over several years and the turnover strategy are in DeedWorth.

Frequently asked questions

How is a Quebec rent increase calculated in 2026?

Using the TAL method: a base percentage on the rent, plus the portion of tax and insurance increases that exceeds that percentage, plus a share of capital expenditures, all pro-rated by unit. The tool applies this method for you.

What is the base percentage for 2026?

The base percentage for the 2026 cycle is 3.1%, for leases starting between April 2, 2026 and April 1, 2027. It applies to the rent before the unit-specific items (taxes, insurance, work).

Why is only part of the tax increases counted?

Because the base percentage is deemed to already cover an ordinary variation: only the portion of tax and insurance increases that exceeds that base percentage is added to the calculation.

Is major work included?

Eligible capital expenditures are recovered gradually, at a fixed rate per year, pro-rated by unit — not fully in the year of the work.

Is this result a guaranteed increase?

No: it is the estimated maximum under the TAL method. The tenant can refuse the increase, and in case of disagreement the TAL sets the rent. The notice calendar and right to refuse are detailed in the guide.
