Section 1969
Disposition versions
1969. Where the lessor does not exercise his right of repossession or eviction on the fixed date, the lease is renewed by operation of law provided the lessee continues to occupy the dwelling with the consent of the lessor. In that case, the lessor, within one month after the date fixed for repossession or eviction, may apply to the court to have a new rent fixed.
The lease is also renewed where the court refuses an application for repossession or eviction and renders its decision after expiry of the period provided to avoid the renewal of the lease or to modify it. The lessor may then, within one month after the final decision, apply to the court to fix the rent.
