COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE DISPUTES
GENERAL
A commercial real estate dispute is a dispute between a Landlord and Tenant with respect to the Tenant’s premises, including but not limited to:
- Arrears of rent or debts related to the lease contract (non-payment, late payment, sudden modifications, etc.);
- Defaults under the lease such as damages to the premises or the property;
- Troubles related to other tenants;
- Shortcomings related to the lease, a sale, or any contract;
- Defaults to the exclusivity clauses;
JURISDICTION
Commercial real estate disputes are of the jurisdiction of the Court of Quebec or the Superior Court depending on the amount in dispute.
If the amount in question is less than $85,000.00, the jurisdiction is the Court of Quebec.
If the amount in question is $85,000.00 or more, the legal forum is the Superior Court.

This is why we believe that a good lawyer specialised in real estate matters has a duty to make you feel secure by helping you understand your different possibilities, as well as the different legal proceedings offered to you that might seem overwhelming at first.
