The Quebecois landlord invoked Art. 1971 of the Civil Code of Quebec to resiliate the lease. The article reads as “ The lessor may obtain the resiliation of the lease if the lessee is over three weeks late in paying the rent or, if he suffers serious injury as a result, where the lessee is frequently late in paying it. “ Note that the date of the request was August 08, 2017.
And here is the rent payment record of the tenant: the rent was paid on July 1st and cashed by the Landlord on July 6; the rent was paid on Aug. 1st and cashed on Aug. 7!
The fact does not matter, “who you are“” matters!
