I find the interaction with capitalism interesting. Basically(according to the article), because it makes getting future tenets easier, landlords will arrange leases to end in July, even if they need to make short leases to do so. This in turn means people are open to enter new contracts in July, which maintains the incentives.
If you are an individual buyer, you will have little influence on this incentive. Thats... interesting to me.

- sbuas 8y agoI will have to disagree with the article on this, really it is 2-way. When searching for a new apartment you will have way more choice in the weeks around July 1st than at any other time of the year.
- tempestn 8y agoThat's true, unless you're moving to Montreal at some other time of the year; then it will be very difficult to find somewhere to live.
- auxym 8y agoIn the weeks leading to July 1st you are pretty last-minute and won't have great choice. Lease renewals/non-renewals are due for the end of March (IIRC), so starting to look around April is a good idea. In case someone is thinking about moving to Quebec next year ;)
