For those keeping an eye on Quebec's rental landscape, here’s an early look at the 2027 rent estimate: the increase is currently projected at 2.4%. The province’s updated rent-setting formula has certainly brought more predictability—components are fixed, weightings are clear, and there are fewer moving targets. The most significant factor now is Quebec’s three-year average CPI, which has taken the place of past calculations covering energy, maintenance, services, and management fees. For 2027, this CPI is based on 2024, 2025, and 2026 data, and with most of 2026 already reported, the rent increase is settling around mid-2%—though there’s still room for adjustment as more data comes in. Remember, the final rent adjustment will also depend on each property’s actual 2026 expenses, a standard 5% allowance for major works, and any changes to school, municipal, or insurance costs. As a licensed residential and commercial real estate broker, I monitor these shifts closely to ensure clients are well-informed, whether you’re an owner or a tenant in regions like Laval.
