Not in force
659. A person evacuated from a private seniors’ residence under section 658 is exempted from paying rent for the evacuation period. Unless Santé Québec revokes the authorization of the holder of the authorization for the operation of the residence in accordance with the provisions of Chapter III of Title I, as soon as the situation making the evacuation and relocation necessary is remedied to Santé Québec’s satisfaction, the authorization holder is required to notify the evacuated person, if the person has informed the holder of their new address. The person is then required to notify the holder within 10 days as to whether or not they intend to move back into the room or dwelling. If the person refuses to move back into the room or dwelling or did not inform the holder of their new address or their intention to move back into the room or dwelling, the lease is resiliated by operation of law. The person retains all other remedies under the lease against the holder, including the right to claim damages.
The authorization holder may not claim any compensation from a person on the grounds of the resiliation of a lease under this section.
