🏠 Did you know? In Québec, landlords are generally NOT allowed to ask for a security deposit when renting an apartment.

Many tenants still face requests for:
❌ Damage deposits
❌ Key deposits
❌ Last month’s rent in advance

But according to Québec law, these practices are illegal for residential leases. The only advance payment a landlord can request is the first month’s rent.

Knowing your rights can help you avoid unfair situations and make informed decisions when signing a lease.

💚 Mental Health Week | May 4–10, 2026 💚

Did you know that social connection affects both mental *and* physical health?

Positive interactions like sharing a conversation, receiving a smile, or spending time with loved ones help our brains release chemicals linked to happiness, comfort, and emotional well-being. 💙

On the other hand, long periods of loneliness and isolation can increase stress in the body and may affect:
• Mood and emotional well-being
• Memory and concentration
• Energy levels
• Heart health
• Overall physical health

For older adults especially, meaningful connection can play an important role in reducing stress and supporting healthier aging.

✨ A simple check-in can make a real difference.
✨ A shared moment matters.
✨ Connection helps us feel seen, valued, and supported.

This Mental Health Week, let’s take the time to reach out, listen, and stay connected with one another. Together, small moments of kindness can have a lasting impact. 💛

💙 Mental Health Week 2026 💙
Come Together, Canada.
Stronger connections. Better mental health.
This Mental Health Week, let’s remember that meaningful connection can make a real difference — especially for older adults in our community. ☕✨
A phone call, a shared conversation, a walk with a friend, or simply checking in on someone can help reduce loneliness and strengthen mental well-being.
Together, we can build a more caring, connected, and supportive community. 🤝
📅 May 4–10, 2026
📞 Help and support are always available.
💙 Because connection strengthens mental health.
