Following up on this video and my discussions with my own landlord, we eventually settled on a month of rent as compensation and I worked with my landlord to speed up the installation of the sound insulation (which I was paid for). We had a more difficult time than we should have because emails got missed on both sides but after a bit of steam being blown off about that misunderstanding we managed to reach a productive compromise and the issue was fixed by working together. After this experience I'd reiterate the message in this video. If you are dissatisfied as a renter, spend as little time being annoyed as possible and instead think what you can do. Going to the Regie to get compensation is almost always a pyrrhic victory due to the wait and the stress. The only thing I would suggest in addition to what I have in the video is to follow up with a call!

I've lived in Quebec my entire life. I've rented in Montreal the past 12 years. And STILL I learned a lot from your Montreal rental series. Would you say any part of the "game" changed in the past two years?

Fundamentally not really, the Régie changed its name. There is an incoming rent registry in Montreal. High inflation, housing prices and interest rates will probably put a lot of pressure on landlords to hike rents beyond what the formula allows.

thanks for the info about Montreal; I've been thinking about moving there; would you say an Airbnb is a good idea in the beginning?

To get your footing a month long Airbnb is a great idea. Due to the virus it's also a buyers market right now and there's probably some great deals available. Once you get the place you can typically save money by negotiating with the host for an extra month in cash, that way you can take your time and find the right place.
