Montréal rents differently from the rest of Canada. Most leases run from July 1st to June 30th, which is why the whole city seems to move on the same weekend — and why the best apartments are spoken for months before that date. Searching in April for a July move is normal here; searching in June is late.

RentBolt works directly with the owners and managers of the buildings below, so our advisors can tell you what a listing photo cannot: which units actually face the courtyard, what the building is like in February, and whether the unit you want is likely to come up again this season.

What to know about renting in Montréal

Leases, and the July 1st cycle

A standard Québec lease is twelve months, usually July 1st to June 30th, and it renews automatically unless proper notice is given. Notice periods are set by law rather than by the landlord, so a lease that ends in June typically needs notice months in advance.

Deposits work differently here

In Québec a landlord may ask for the first month's rent, and that is it. Security deposits, damage deposits and last month's rent are not permitted the way they are in Ontario. If you are moving from another province, budget for one month, not two or three.

Clause G and what the last tenant paid

Québec leases include a section where the landlord states the lowest rent paid in the previous twelve months. It is worth reading before you sign — it tells you how much the rent has moved, and you have a limited window after signing to contest an increase.

Lease transfers

Transferring a lease — a cession de bail — is common in Montréal and is a legitimate way to take over a good apartment mid-cycle. A landlord can refuse only for a serious reason.

General guidance, not legal advice — rules change, and your lease governs.

Common questions

When should I start looking for an apartment in Montréal?

For a July 1st move, start in March or April. Most Québec leases end June 30th, so the bulk of inventory is listed in spring and the best units go early. Outside that cycle, availability is thinner but still real — our advisors can tell you what is actually coming up.

Do I need a security deposit to rent in Montréal?

No. In Québec a landlord may collect the first month's rent and nothing more. Security deposits, damage deposits and last month's rent are not permitted.

Does RentBolt charge tenants a fee?

No. Our service is free for renters — we are paid by the building owners and managers we represent.

Can I rent in Montréal without a Québec credit history?

Often yes. Newcomers and students regularly rent here. Requirements vary by building, and an advisor can point you to the ones used to working with international applicants.

What areas of Montréal does RentBolt cover?

We work across the island and the surrounding areas, including downtown and Ville-Marie, Plateau-Mont-Royal, Rosemont, Villeray, Ahuntsic-Cartierville, NDG and Côte-des-Neiges, Verdun, Griffintown and the West Island.
