Wondering how to check if a cottage is legal?
It's easy. Here's how to check with the CITQ if the cottage you're renting is legal.
- Ask the owner of the chalet for the # CITQ.
- Then go to the website of the QUEBEC TOURIST INDUSTRY CORPORATION.
- Then click on the button "HELLO QUEBEC «. Le site bonjour Québec est un répertoire de tous les chalets a louer dans les Laurentides et ailleurs au Québec. C’est à cet endroit qu’est conservée la liste des tous les chalets à louer.
- Then click on the "ACCOMMODATION IN COTTAGES«.
- Dérouler la fenêtre vers le bas et cliquer sur » See on the map»
- Enter the CITQ number in the search box at the top left.
If the chalet is indeed registered with the CITQ, it will appear in the results.
Otherwise, be vigilant and do further checks!
Owners who contravene the regulations are exposed to fines.
