Québec solidaire proposes an inflation-linked cap on rent increases

MONTREAL — Québec solidaire members adopted a motion on Sunday that would apply if the party were to form government, to support a cap on rent increases tied to inflation as the party wraps up its convention in Montreal.

Delegates argue that an inflation-linked cap would better balance tenant protections and housing stability.

The party has made housing a central issue, focusing on affordability and tenant protections.

Members also unanimously backed measures to expand housing for vulnerable people, including women fleeing violence, people experiencing homelessness, and Indigenous communities.
