a visit of the premises by the court is possible !

TERMINATION OF LEASE HOW TO AVOID GETTING TRAPPED
Article 1870 of the Civil Code of Quebec allows the tenant, at any time during the lease, to termination the lease. The assignment of a lease allows the tenant to free himself from all the obligations of the lease by "transferring" his lease to another tenant. To do so, he must send a written notice to the owner of his intention with the name and address of the candidate AND obtain the owner's consent to the assignment of lease.

Partial payment of debts
Generally speaking, when a person owes several sums of money to another, he or she has the right to decide which amount to pay first, unless another agreement is stipulated by contract. For example, if I owe a friend money on a loan and also another loan for the purchase of his car with the payments being made in installments, I have the right to decide to pay off a part of my loan with the $ 200 I handover today, with the aim of lowering the higher interest, if both debts are due. I should then clearly indicate this possibility.
