What is the relevé 31 and how do I ask my landlord for it?

✓ Verified answer Written from official pages, with checked citations and a verification date.

General information, not tax advice. The relevé 31 (Relevé 31) is a document your landlord fills out to report information on the occupancy of your dwelling on December 31. If you are a tenant or subtenant of an eligible dwelling, you need it to claim the housing component of the solidarity tax credit. Your landlord must give it to you by February 28: if they have not, ask them for it. If you own your home yourself, you need your municipal tax bill instead.

Check your situation: if you are a tenant or subtenant of an eligible dwelling, you should receive a relevé 31 from your landlord. If you own an eligible dwelling, have your municipal tax bill on hand instead.
Watch the date: your landlord must give you the relevé 31 by February 28.
If you have not received it by that date, ask your landlord for it. Revenu Québec advises you to contact them quickly.
When you receive it, look at the information on it: the landlord must enter the address of the dwelling and the name of each tenant or subtenant who signed the lease.
Keep the relevé 31 on hand when you file your income tax return, then fill out Schedule D to claim the solidarity tax credit.
Also make sure you are registered for direct deposit, which is needed to receive the credit payments automatically.
If you need help filling out your return (including Schedule D), Revenu Québec says the Service d'aide en impôt – Programme des bénévoles (volunteer tax help program) can assist you.

Your progress is kept on this device only: nothing is sent to Demande au Québec. Some steps only apply in certain situations: skip the ones that do not concern you.
