Who is responsible for covering repairs and maintenance requests?

A: Property owners are responsible for all standard maintenance, including repairs related to roofing, plumbing, electrical systems, and structural work, as long as the issue is not caused by resident misuse. Residents are responsible for damages caused by misuse, such as drywall damage or clogged toilets due to inappropriate items.

Missed Appointments: If a resident schedules a maintenance appointment and fails to attend, a service fee will be applied.

A: All lease modification requests must be submitted at least 90 days before the lease renewal date to be processed.

  • If you are removed from the lease, the remaining tenant must either:

    • Find a qualified replacement, or
    • Requalify independently to stay in the unit.
  • A new lease agreement must be signed, and the remaining tenant will need to submit a new application and pay the application fee to be re-screened by our underwriting team.

A: You can pay rent through the following options:

  1. Online Portal – Use the Loqset tenant portal to make payments via bank account or credit card.
  2. Automatic Payments – Set up recurring payments in the online portal to ensure your rent is always paid on time.

 

For any payment issues, please contact tenants@loqset.ca.

A: We work with certified vendors to guarantee quality repairs and maintain clear communication between owners and tenants.

  • Residents should not pay for repairs out of pocket.
  • Withholding rent for maintenance issues is not permitted.
  • If a resident makes an unauthorized repair, they assume full responsibility for future related issues.

A: Yes, a co-signer is allowed for applicants who meet all qualifications except for income. However:

  • The co-signer must meet our screening criteria.
  • A co-signer cannot be used to compensate for a low credit score.

A: We follow the Tribunal administratif du logement (TAL) guidelines for rent adjustments.

  • If a rent increase exceeds TAL’s suggested rates due to capital improvements (e.g., property upgrades), we will provide clear justification based on their guidelines.

A: Please email tenants@loqset.ca to request a lease amendment. You must also provide renter’s insurance that covers potential pet-related damages.

A: I’m late on rent—what happens next?
Our policy is to communicate promptly in cases of late payments:

  1. Immediate Notice – A reminder is sent as soon as rent is overdue.
  2. Follow-Ups – We will contact you multiple times to discuss the situation.
  3. 7 Days Late – A registered notice is issued for non-payment.
  4. 21 Days Late – If the issue remains unresolved, we begin the non-payment process with the TAL.

A: You can set up or transfer your Hydro-Québec account by:

 

Required Information:

  • Service address (your new apartment)
  • Move-in date
  • Personal details (name, contact info, ID, etc.)
  • Previous account holder’s name (if applicable)

A: Electricity bills increase due to higher heating usage. To manage costs:

  • Contact Hydro-Québec to enroll in the Equalized Payments Plan (EPP) – this spreads costs evenly across the year.
  • Check out our blog for energy-saving tips to reduce winter electricity expenses!
