The thing most pages get wrong
Montréal's own heating page still points owners to the wrong programme. Updated in March 2026, it says Chauffez vert offers help to replace oil or propane heating; that grant ended on 31 March 2026. For a Montréal building, RénoPlex's heating lines and Hydro-Québec's LogisVert are what remain.
Landlords: it comes off the rent
Every subsidy a landlord receives, from any source, "doit être déduit[e] du coût total des travaux dans le calcul des loyers" [must be deducted from the cost of the work when rents are calculated].
