Local potential
What drives demand in Le Plateau-Mont-Royal
The high proportion of renters and the neighbourhood's appeal support steady rental demand. The stock is mostly duplexes, triplexes and small older buildings, with ground-floor commercial space on the main arteries. The rules of the Tribunal administratif du logement (Quebec's rental housing tribunal) govern rent increases and repossessions, which must be built into any analysis. Before a short-term rental project, check the applicable regulations.
