Quebec mores

In Quebec, it has been customary for many years for the majority of leases to end on July 1. Although July 1st coincides with Canada Day, landlords have traditionally chosen this date to allow children to finish their school year without changing schools.

This year, on the occasion of July 1st, our real estate brokers and administrative team wanted to share their best tips and tricks for a successful move!

Things to remember

Change your property address:

Canada Post
RAMQ, SAAQ, your insurance company
Your financial institution
Service providers (Hydro Québec, Internet…)

Check elevator fee regulations:

If you live in a divided or undivided condominium, chances are you’ll need to reserve the elevator to facilitate your move. However, some condominiums charge a fee for this reservation. So it’s essential to find out in advance about the regulations in force in your building, to avoid any surprises on the big day.

Tips and tricks from our team

Veronica advises you to bring sufficient transport boxes to ensure that your valuables all have a designated place and can safely withstand the move! The trick is to use color coding to distinguish between items and their respective places in your new home.

Clara recommends one or more meditation sessions before the big day! Yes, moving has been proven to be one of the biggest sources of stress, so it can be very beneficial to take the time to rest and meditate in the days and hours before the movers arrive!

Frédéric advises you to reward the people who help make your moving day a successful and memorable one! Beers and pizzas are now a tradition for anyone who volunteers to help their loved ones on this big day! If you’re familiar with our team, you’ll know that Panzeria is our favorite address for succulent focaccia pizza and exquisite Italian dishes!

Finally, our team of real estate brokers recommends that you start by furnishing the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. By prioritizing these essential rooms, you’ll quickly find your bearings and a certain comfort in your new home.

Happy moving to everyone!

Montreal, May 24, 2025 – Last week, the Michelin Guide unveiled its long-awaited list of the best restaurants in Quebec. Our team of real estate brokers is delighted to help you discover the Montreal establishments that made the cut.

Montreal's rich culinary scene

The Michelin Guide awards several distinctions, including the famous stars for culinary excellence. It also awards Bibs Gourmands to restaurants offering high-quality, affordable cuisine, and Étoiles Vertes to establishments committed to sustainable development.

This week, Catherine, Director of Operations for our Montreal real estate brokerage organization, invites you to discover the little things that make the Rosemont La Petite-Patrie neighborhood so unique. She is a proud Rosemont resident for over 22 years, and describes her neighborhood as a suburb within the city, where calm, greenery and unparalleled accessibility come together.

Many properties are built on rock.

Most of Rosemont‘s properties are built on bedrock, which is particularly suitable for all types of construction, from cottages to condominiums and plexes. Rock keeps buildings more stable and reduces the risk of subsidence or ground movement.

Shoeboxes

If you’ve ever strolled through the Rosemont La Petite-Patrie neighborhood, you’ve probably noticed these small rectangular houses, known as “shoeboxes”. These single-family homes, built in the early 20th century, were originally intended to house the workers of the day. They are particularly common in the Rosemont and Villeray neighborhoods. A true legacy of the past, these properties contribute to the history of the neighborhood and have been subject to a moratorium on demolition since 2018. If you’re looking to renovate your shoebox, we recommend you read our article: Transformation and Expansion of Shoebox Houses: Can They Be Renovated?

Rosemont's abundance of green lanes

Rosemont is the Montreal borough with the largest number of green alleyways, with over 140 landscaped spaces. These alleyways offer many benefits, not least improving quality of life by encouraging neighborly interaction and helping to reduce urban heat islands. Where alleyways are not landscaped, they provide convenient parking, making it easier for Rosemont residents to find parking spaces.

An ideal neighborhood for families

Rosemont is a perfect neighborhood for Montreal families, offering a multitude of free activities in its parks during the summer. What’s more, the borough is home to several primary and secondary schools, making it an even more accessible and convenient place to live.

A multitude of plexes

Although the Rosemont La Petite-Patrie borough is particularly popular with families, it is also a strategic choice for owner-occupiers and investors, due to the large number of plexes. These income properties offer numerous advantages to owners, such as tax incentives, attractive rental income and long-term financial stability.

6594-6598 Av. De Lorimier

In short, Rosemont is a great borough to live in, for many reasons, including its solid foundations, rich green spaces, access to free activities for children, as well as the opportunity to invest in real estate thanks to the presence of numerous plexes.

Our team of Montreal real estate brokers has a few simple tips to help you celebrate a greener Christmas.

Prioritize natural decorations

According to the International Reference Center for Life Cycle Assessment (CIRAIG), buying a natural Christmas tree is generally better for the environment. In fact, the ecological impact of a natural tree is lower, provided it is composted or recycled after the holidays. However, buying an artificial tree is only ecologically advantageous if you plan to keep it for at least 16 years.

For its part, the David Suzuki Foundation recommends avoiding PVC decorations. Unless they are used for an extended period of time, at least 20 years, in order to limit their ecological impact.

Reuse packaging from previous years

Another way to reduce your ecological footprint is to reuse packaging from previous years. This simple gesture can have a significant impact on the environment, and is easy to adopt. In fact, according to ESG’s Observatoire de la consommation responsable, 46% of Quebecers already practice this habit.

Another way to adopt an eco-friendly approach to your packaging is to use newspaper that you already have at home. Not only does this reuse paper, it also makes your gift wrapping more original.

Choose second-hand gifts

The holiday season often brings gifts and Christmas lists. When your loved ones share their Christmas lists with you, it’s a good idea to take a moment to check whether these items are available on second-hand platforms. Such as MarketPlace, Kijiji or thrift stores. By opting for these alternatives, you can not only save money, but also give objects a second life, while reducing your environmental impact.

Choose your holiday cards wisely

Christmas presents are often accompanied by greeting cards. To make this accessory more environmentally friendly, we suggest you opt for cards from Quebec companies, designed to be seeded. Not only does this reduce waste, but it’s also a great way to contribute to nature by transforming them into beautiful plants after the holidays.

Prioritize activities over physical gifts

Choosing activities instead of material gifts is a great way to reduce your ecological footprint while enjoying quality time with your loved ones. Our team of real estate brokers will share with you some experiences to be had in Montreal.

For your creative loved ones, we suggest offering them a unique experience at Céramic Café, where they can create a work of art in their own image while sharing a pleasant moment in good company. If you’d like to explore your creativity from another angle, we recommend a visit to Café Moonday, located in the Plateau-Mont-Royal. This café is the ideal place to create your own candle in a warm, trendy atmosphere.

For movie lovers, our team of real estate brokers suggests a gift card to Cinéma Beaubien in Rosemont. This establishment stands out for its diversified programming, featuring local productions as well as international works. What’s more, the cinema’s retro ambience creates a unique atmosphere conducive to an unforgettable cinematic experience.

For food lovers, we recommend the Spanish restaurant Mesón, located in the Villeray district, for a unique culinary experience in the heart of the metropolis.

We hope these practical tips from our real estate brokers will help you adopt new habits this holiday season, to help preserve our planet.

This week, our team of Montreal real estate brokers explores Les Mauvaises Herbes. A charming boutique nestled on the popular Plaza St-Hubert, in the heart of the Rosemont-La-Petite-Patrie district, more precisely in Petite-Patrie.

Opening of the physical boutique on Plaza St-Hubert

Les Mauvaises Herbes was founded in 2018 and initially operated exclusively online. In 2019, the entrepreneurs launched a socio-financing campaign to open a physical boutique. This initiative far exceeded their expectations, raising over 508% of the initial target. Thanks to this success, they opened their store on Plaza St-Hubert, in the heart of the Rosemont district.

However, the opening of the store coincided with the arrival of the global pandemic. Barely three months after the inauguration, the virus imposed strict containment, forcing the company to temporarily close its doors for several months. It was a particularly trying time. But the three entrepreneurs showed great resilience and a remarkable ability to adapt. As soon as conditions allowed, they managed to open their store, while maintaining close links with their customers.

Body care in the heart of Rosemont

Les Mauvaises Herbes boutique offers a wide selection of skincare products. You can buy serums, creams, soaps, herbal teas and products specially designed to relieve menstrual cramps. Bulk items are also available, perfect for refilling your essentials with ease. With prices ranging from $10 to $50, products are affordable and suitable for all budgets.

3 women entrepreneurs running a thriving business

The company was founded by three inspiring female entrepreneurs: Mariane, Audrey and Marie. United by a common passion for ecology and handmade products, these three women with diverse backgrounds have combined their expertise. Their complementarity is the key to the company’s strength, with a shared vision aimed at having a positive impact on the environment while valuing artisanal work. The adventure began in 2014 with a blog called Les Trappeuses, which focused mainly on recipes for homemade cosmetics and household products. The blog quickly gained in popularity. In fact, in 2017, the three creators made the decision to quit their jobs to devote themselves fully to this project.

The following year, in 2018, they launched their online store. The aim of this platform was to meet the demand of customers wishing to purchase the ingredients needed to make the recipes they offered. They also published their first book, À fleur de peau. It was a great success, with over 30,000 copies sold since its release. In 2021, they have expanded their offer with two new books.

La Plaza St-Hubert

Plaza St-Hubert, once renowned as the go-to destination for bridal and prom dresses, is located in the heart of the Rosemont district. Since 2019, this pedestrian street has undergone a thorough overhaul of its strategic positioning. The main objective of this transformation was to diversify its commercial offering in order to attract a wider and more varied clientele. As part of this renewal, a number of improvements were made to revitalize the Plaza. For example, sidewalks were widened to facilitate outdoor events, while preserving traffic flow.

Today, Plaza St-Hubert is home to nearly 400 diverse businesses, ranging from gourmet restaurants like Montreal Plaza, to trendy boutiques like Arloca and Belle et Rebelle. The opening of Les Mauvaises Herbes in 2019 is a perfect illustration of this new dynamic, marking a real turning point for the Rosemont district and its commercial appeal.

We encourage you to follow in the footsteps of our Montreal real estate brokers and discover Les Mauvaises Herbes. It’s brimming with unique and original Christmas gifts. They’re sure to delight your loved ones!
