Renting in Blainville in 2026

Blainville is a North Shore suburb of roughly 59,800 people as of the 2021 Census, about 35 km northwest of downtown Montreal along Autoroute 15. It's the seat of the Thérèse-De Blainville MRC and connects to the city via the exo Saint-Jérôme commuter line.

Renters here range from commuters riding the Blainville station into downtown Montreal to people working in the city's thirteen industrial parks, including at Boréale brewer Les Brasseurs du Nord. Housing stock leans toward newer single-family and townhouse developments, typical of the fast-growing Laurentides commuter belt.

The local economy runs on the following:

• •
  Les Brasseurs du Nord, brewer of Boréale beer, headquartered in Blainville with over 150 employees
• •
  Thirteen industrial parks supporting retail, manufacturing, and construction jobs

• •
  Le Fontainebleau Golf Club, which has hosted PGA Tour events
• •
  A semi-Olympic pool built for the 2009 Quebec Winter Games
• •
  The Blainville exo commuter rail station

Every rental in Blainville is governed by the Quebec Civil Code (residential leases). Key rules that apply regardless of town size:

• •
  No fixed provincial rent-increase guideline.The TAL publishes a base percentage each year (3.1% for 2026) as one factor among several — capital expenditures and service changes can adjust it further.
• •
  Security deposits are illegal in Quebec.A landlord may only require first month's rent in advance at signing — no separate damage, key, or pet deposit of any kind.
• •
  Landlord entry requires 24 hours' written notice.For repairs, showings, or inspections.
• •
  Disputes go to the TAL.Quebec's Tribunal administratif du logement handles applications from both landlords and tenants.
• •
  No legally required move-in inspection report.A written move-in inspection is good practice but is not a Quebec Civil Code requirement.

Deep guides for each of these topics are in the SQRFT guide library.
