The checks specific to a plex
The actual leases and their dates, the history at the Tribunal administratif du logement, the income proven by statements, the number of units matching the assessment roll, the roof, the brick, the foundations, the water entry and the electrical panel: the full checklist is in how to choose a good rental property.

How to read these figures
The price per unit divides the type's median by its number of units: it compares buildings of different sizes, not units of the same floor area, and a 1925 triplex does not have the units of a 2015 duplex. The gap with the house compares the type's median with the Lévis single-family median over the same period. Down payments apply the 2026 mortgage insurers' rules to the medians: to be confirmed with your mortgage broker.
