"The services and accessories shall be subject to the same rules as those applicable to housing they are contained in the lease itself or in a separate contract, verbal or written. [...] The rent of residential accommodation includes all services offered by the landlord and the rent is. [...] The landlord can not do a distinction between columns 1 and 2 of Schedule to the lease because they produce exactly the same effect as regards the imposition of ancillary items and services from 1892 to 2000 CCQ The only difference between these two columns the distribution of amounts for various services included. Everything that appears in column 2 of Schedule forms part of the lease as well as the élémetns of column 1. "(From Manor during the Atrium & Belanger v., [2009] No. AZ-50608514 (RL).
In other words, column 1 for services that are included in the rent specified in lease. Column 2 applies to services that are not included in the rent, that is what is known as additional rent. However, as confirmed by case law in this regard, the two columns are part of the lease the same securities. What is written in the Annexes (columns 1 and 2), such as services and accessories are part of the cost of rent. So the criteria for fixing the rent established by the Régie apply to the total cost of rent, including the annexes. Moreover, sections 1892 to 2000 CCQ develop the rules applicable to the lease of a dwelling specifically and all that goes with it.
