Pre-Lease Screening in Quebec City
A well-priced rental in Quebec City rarely stays vacant for long, and sorting through applicants is where landlords take on the most risk. Our pre-lease screening portal gives owners and property managers in the region a clear picture of each candidate: credit file with score, criminal background, records from the housing tribunal (TAL) and rental history. From our office in the Lebourgneuf sector, we serve Quebec City neighbourhoods such as Sainte-Foy, Charlesbourg and Beauport, along with Lévis across the river. Screening is done online from start to finish, on your schedule.

Pre-Lease Screening in Brief
You provide three things about your applicant: name, phone number and email address. We send them a secure consent form, and the checks begin as soon as it is signed. First results reach you within business hours; the complete report generally takes 24 to 48 hours.
You also decide how far to go. Beyond the identity verification, options cover the Canadian criminal record search, credit check with score, Quebec judicial records, TAL verification, reference calls and employment confirmation. Pricing falls between $59 and $199 depending on the checks selected, billed monthly or per request. Accès Identité is accredited by the RCMP and compliant with Quebec’s Law 25. For the complete process, visit our pre-lease screening service page.

Frequently Asked Questions in Quebec City
How do I screen a tenant for a rental in Quebec City?
Open a landlord account on our portal, submit your applicant’s details and choose your checks. Since the investigation targets the person rather than the building, it applies just as well to a triplex in Limoilou as to a condo in Lévis. Your report is delivered securely once the searches are complete.
Does my applicant have to give consent?
Yes, the law requires it. Every background check in Canada depends on the informed consent of the individual concerned, which is why the authorization form is emailed directly to your applicant for an electronic signature. A refusal to sign is, in itself, useful information for your decision.
What is the turnaround before I can sign the lease?
Plan for a day or two. First results land within business hours after the form is signed, and deeper analyses such as credit or TAL records are typically completed in 24 to 48 hours. There is no separate queue at the Quebec City office, since all requests are processed through the same portal.
