Terms of Use

By browsing this site, you accept the following terms. They apply to all content published by the TBL Editorial Team.

1. Purpose of the site

Très Bons Locataires, Mauvais Proprios is a citizen information outlet devoted to housing law in Québec. We publish analyses of decisions by the Tribunal administratif du logement (TAL), Quebec's housing tribunal, practical guides and tools (calculator, notice templates, directories). Access to the site is free.

2. General information, not legal advice

The site’s content is provided for strictly informational and educational purposes. It does not constitute a lawyer consultation or legal advice tailored to your situation. For official advice on your case, contact a lawyer who is a member of the Barreau du Québec, an accredited housing committee or the registry of the Tribunal administratif du logement. We are neither lawyers nor jurists.

3. Acceptable use

By using this site, you agree to:

• not copy, republish or resell our content for commercial purposes without written permission;
• not attempt to disrupt the operation of the site or to extract its data in an automated, large-scale manner;
• not publish, via our forms, defamatory, hateful or unlawful statements.

Short quotations from our articles for information purposes, with credit to the source and a link to the original article, are welcome.

4. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, texts, analyses and visuals produced by the TBL Editorial Team are the property of Très Bons Locataires. Cited court decisions remain public documents; illustrative photographs come from free image banks or our archives, with credit given where applicable.

5. Accuracy and updates

We verify every fact against the official text of the cited decision before publication. The law evolves: if information becomes outdated, we correct it as soon as possible. If you spot an error, report it via the Contact page.

6. External links

The site contains links to official sources (the TAL, LégisQuébec, Éducaloi, housing committees). We do not control these third-party sites and accept no responsibility for their content.

7. Limitation of liability

Despite our rigour, we do not guarantee the completeness or lasting currency of the published information. Use of the site’s content is at your own risk: we cannot be held responsible for the consequences of a decision made solely on the basis of our articles.

8. Changes

We may update these terms at any time. The current version is the one published on this page. Last updated: September 2026.

9. Applicable law

These terms are governed by the laws applicable in Québec and Canada. If you have any questions, write to us via the Contact page.
