Free tools for income-property owners
Four free tools — three calculators and a quiz — to estimate, in a few minutes, what your below-market rents are costing you and which strategy to apply. No account, in compliance with the TAL.
In short: these four tools help an income-property owner put numbers on a decision before making it — how much to offer for a voluntary departure (cash for keys), how much value a reset rent creates at refinancing, the gap between a gradual increase and a mutually agreed one, and which strategy fits your situation. Pick the tool that answers your question.

About the tools
Are these tools really free?
Yes. All four tools are entirely free and run directly in your browser, with no account to create and no contact details to leave. You get an immediate result you can use freely.
Which tool should I use first?
If you're unsure, start with the quiz: five questions are enough to identify the right strategy for your unit, then point you to the matching calculator — cash for keys offer, refinancing value, or gradual increase vs agreement.
Do the calculator results constitute legal advice?
No. These tools are provided for informational purposes to help you estimate and compare scenarios. They do not replace legal advice or a professional appraisal. Every strategy we suggest is built on voluntary agreements, in compliance with Quebec's rental board (the TAL).
