Summary
Bill 992 is a private member's bill introduced in the Quebec National Assembly by MNA Virginie Dufour of Mille-Îles. It proposes establishing a formal committee whose job would be to make recommendations about the criteria used to determine how rent is set or adjusted in Quebec. Currently, Quebec has a rent regulation system administered through the Tribunal administratif du logement (TAL), which uses a set of established criteria to calculate allowable rent increases. This bill would create a dedicated committee to study and recommend changes to those criteria, potentially giving a structured body more influence over how rent-setting rules are developed. The bill affects landlords, tenants, and housing policy in Quebec. It was introduced during the 43rd Legislature's 1st Session and was reinstated in the 2nd Session on October 1, 2025. Notably, it passed its introduction stage with unanimous support (102 for, 0 against, 0 abstentions).
