AI Article Summary

The article discusses the rising rental prices in Quebec, particularly in Montreal where rent has increased less rapidly than other areas. The data, sourced from the Vivre en ville Rent Register, highlights a significant rise in average rental costs statewide since 2022. The register reflects a growing rental market and is seen by advocates as a tool to introduce transparency and combat speculative practices in the housing sector. Despite previous government resistance to a formal rent register, recent developments and municipal support are spurring discussions on its potential benefits.
