1994. The lessor, at the request of a lessee who has suffered a reduction of income or a change in the composition of his household, is bound to reduce his rent during the term of the lease in accordance with the by-laws of the Société d’habitation du Québec; if he refuses or neglects to do so, the lessee may apply to the court for the reduction.

If the income of the lessee returns to or becomes greater than what it was, the former rent is re-established; the lessee may contest the re-establishment of the rent within one month after it is re-established.
