1987. If the lessor allocates a dwelling to a person other than the person entitled to it under the by-laws, the person entitled to the dwelling may apply to the court within one month thereafter for a review of the decision.

The lessor has the burden of establishing that he acted within the conditions prescribed in the by-laws; if he fails to do so, the court may order him to house the person in a dwelling of the category to which he is entitled or, if none is vacant, to allocate to him the next dwelling of that category that becomes vacant. The court may also, in an urgent case, order the lessor to house him in an equivalent dwelling, whether in low-rental housing or not, corresponding to the category of dwelling to which he is entitled. If the rent for that dwelling is higher than the rent the person would have paid for the dwelling he is entitled to, the lessor is bound to pay the excess amount.

1987. If the lessor assigns a dwelling to a person other than the person entitled to it under the by-laws, the person entitled to the dwelling may apply to the court within one month thereafter for a review of the decision.

The lessor has the burden of establishing that he acted within the conditions prescribed in the by-laws; if he fails to do so, the court may order him to house the person in a dwelling of the category to which he is entitled or, if none is vacant, to assign him the next dwelling of that category that becomes vacant. The court may also, in case of emergency, order the lessor to house him in an equivalent dwelling, whether in low-rental housing or not, corresponding to the category of dwelling to which he is entitled. If the rent for that dwelling is higher than the rent the person would have paid for the dwelling he is entitled to, the lessor is bound to pay the excess amount.
