28. The Administrative Housing Tribunal hears in first instance, to the exclusion of any other tribunal, any application(1) respecting the lease of a dwelling where the sum claimed or the value of the thing claimed or of the interest of the applicant in the object of the application does not exceed the amount of the upper monetary limit for the concurrent jurisdiction of the Court of Québec;
(2) pertaining to any of the matters contemplated in articles 1941 to 1964, 1966, 1967, 1969, 1970, 1977, 1984 to 1990 and 1992 to 1994 of the Civil Code;
(3) pertaining to any of the matters contemplated in Division II, except in sections 54.5, 54.6, 54.7 and 54.11 to 54.14.
The Administrative Housing Tribunal is not competent, however, to hear applications contemplated in articles 667 and 775 of the Code of Civil Procedure (chapter C-25.01). For the purposes of subparagraph 1 of the first paragraph, where two or more applicants join together or are represented by the same person in the same application, the Administrative Housing Tribunal has jurisdiction if it is competent to hear and determine each applicant’s application.
Despite subparagraph 1 of the first paragraph, the Administrative Housing Tribunal may hear in first instance any application respecting an order or an authorization contemplated in articles 1863, 1867, 1917 and 1918 of the Civil Code where the value involved exceeds the amount of the upper monetary limit for the concurrent jurisdiction of the Court of Québec.
