A rent that has stayed below market can be readjusted without a fight at the TAL: by negotiating an increase your tenant accepts voluntarily, in exchange for compensation. This free kit brings together the agreement template, the checklist, the proposal script and the worksheet to calculate the compensation — to raise your revenue cleanly.
What's in the kit
Concrete, ready-to-use tools to turn a frozen rent into real income without antagonizing your tenant.
A clear template: new rent, compensation, effective date, signatures. To adapt and have validated.
What you need to know and gather before opening the discussion: market rent, lease history, room to manoeuvre.
How to present the increase and the compensation so the tenant sees the benefit for them — the words that get a yes.
How much to offer in exchange for the increase? A worksheet that balances the compensation against the value created for the property.
Why a voluntary agreement is often better — faster, no risk of an imposed refusal, and a win for both parties.
Notice, deadlines, the tenant's right to refuse, and the voluntary nature: the markers for staying within the TAL framework.
In short
The process in four steps. For the full details — free — read our guide to rent increases in Quebec; the kit gives you the ready-to-use templates and scripts.
Quantify the gap between the current rent and the market, and the value the increase adds to the property. That's your room to offer compensation.
Present a mutually agreed increase, along with compensation or a benefit. The tenant stays put and comes out ahead.
Set the new rent, the compensation amount and the effective date. Everything is put in writing.
Sign the mutually agreed rent-increase agreement. Your revenue rises right away — and the value follows at refinancing.
Cash for raise doesn't get around the law: it rests on consent. The TAL guideline frames imposed increases, but a tenant can always voluntarily accept a higher increase, by mutual agreement, in exchange for compensation. It's legal, it's in writing, and it's a win for both parties. The kit helps you conduct this negotiation cleanly — without replacing legal advice for a specific case.

The TAL guideline sets the framework for the increase a landlord can impose. But nothing prevents a tenant from voluntarily accepting a higher increase, by mutual agreement, often in exchange for compensation or a benefit. That's the principle behind cash for raise: a free agreement, not an imposed increase.
There is no amount set by law. The kit includes a worksheet that balances the compensation offered against the value created by the increase (the capitalized rent gap), so you can propose a win-win amount that stays highly profitable for you.
Yes, a mutually agreed increase is voluntary: the tenant can refuse. That's why the approach, the amount and the presentation matter so much. The kit provides the script and the worksheet to maximize your chances of an accepted agreement.
That's our cash for raise service. We negotiate the accepted increase with your tenant, and you pay only for results. The kit helps you understand the process; our service runs it for you.
