I have properties in Ontario and Quebec.

We changed realtors and they bought a house from a realtor friend of mine who had immigrated to the U.S. from French speaking Quebec Canada and very much understood what it means to appreciate the language and cultural differences of others.

If there is a surplus we either apply it towards rent or, if winter is approaching, leave it in the fund.You can put the requirement to have the utilities transferred into the tenants name in your schedule to the lease.Dawn, Al - Québec, like NB, and a few other provinces in Canada has a standard lease (or, at least it did when I lived there) to which a landlord can provide a schedule of their own "rules" (provided they do not contravene the standard lease or {naturally} the legislation).

I notice that Quebec allows for family status 'preference' only where owner occupies one of the 2 units in a 2-family dwelling (or is seeking  housemate(s) in their single family).However I don't see any exceptions listed for family status discrimination for Ontario.

Québec has MERN (their land registry); Ontario has a similar portal, but I believe you have to pay for access there.  

Hi all,I'm currently searching properties in the Montreal, Quebec (Canada) region.

21 years old, working with a commission based salary here in Canada (the french part).Discovered BiggerPockets via Reddit, very interested in growing my assets with real estate, new to all this but eager to learn !P.s...

Hi all,I know this is very US focused, but I am here to get tips and education. Thanks for welcoming me, I can't wait to share with all of you, and I wish you tons of success.

An easy rule of thumb to get you started is that countries whose basis of law is based on British Common law usually do not have restrictions on foreigners owning land.i.e.UK, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, British and US virgin Isles, The Caymen Islands, Belize, Canada (excluding Quebec which is Napoleonic law). 

Foreclosure in Canada is almost evenly divided between provinces which operate under Judicial Sale (Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Québec and Saskatchewan) and Power of Sale (New Brunswick, Newfoundland & Labrador, Ontario and Prince Edward Island).Under Power of Sale, the lender is permitted to sell the property without involvement of the court and often without actually taking ownership of the property.
