Which strategy for your unit?
In five questions, this free quiz points you to the right optimization strategy: cash for raise if your rent is below market and your tenant is reliable, cash for keys to recover a unit, or tenant management if a tenant is a problem. Instant result, no commitment, in compliance with the TAL.
In short: the right rental strategy depends on two things — the gap between your rent and the market, and your relationship with the tenant. Below-market rent with a reliable tenant → cash for raise. Need to recover the unit → cash for keys. Tenant not paying or causing problems → manage the file. Sale or refinancing coming up → optimization. This 5-question quiz points you to the right lever, in compliance with the TAL.
How it works: answer 5 quick questions about your rent, your tenant and your objective. You immediately get the recommended strategy and the tool to apply it — free, with no account and no contact details.

Frequently asked
About the quiz
Which strategy for a unit rented below market?
If the tenant pays reliably and you want to keep them, a mutually agreed rent increase (cash for raise) resets the rent without disruption. If you would rather recover the unit, a voluntary departure agreement (cash for keys) is often faster and safer than a contested repossession. The quiz points you to the right lever for your situation, in compliance with the TAL.
What is the difference between cash for raise and cash for keys?
Cash for raise keeps the tenant: it is a mutually agreed rent increase, often in exchange for improvements or an incentive, to reset a below-market rent. Cash for keys moves the tenant out: it is a voluntary departure agreement, usually faster and safer than a contested repossession or eviction. The choice depends on your objective — increase income while keeping the tenant, or recover the unit.
What should I do if my tenant no longer pays the rent?
Before thinking about an increase or optimization, you need to secure the file. For non-payment, the remedy goes through Quebec's rental board (the TAL), with strict deadlines to respect. A voluntary departure agreement (cash for keys) can also resolve the situation faster than a contested proceeding. The quiz first directs a problem tenant toward managing the file.
How long does the quiz take?
About a minute. The quiz has five single-choice questions about your rent, your tenant and your objective. The recommendation appears immediately on the last question, with no account to create and no contact details to leave.
Is the quiz free and without commitment?
Yes. The quiz is entirely free and anonymous: you get your recommendation immediately, without leaving any contact details. You can then, if you wish, request a free audit or receive a personalized plan by email.
Are your recommendations TAL-compliant?
Yes. Every strategy we suggest is built on voluntary agreements reached in compliance with Quebec's rental board (the TAL). None rely on a fake repossession, a disguised eviction or illegal pressure. This quiz is provided for informational purposes and does not constitute legal advice.
