A Relevé 31 (RL-31) slip reports information about an eligible leased dwelling* for which rent was paid or was payable on December 31 and is filed with Revenu Québec by the owner of the rental property. If you’re a tenant or a subtenant of a leased dwelling, you’ll receive a copy of the RL-31 slip (RL-31.CS), which you can use to claim the Solidarity Tax Credit.
The RL-31 slip includes the following information:
- Box A – Dwelling number
- Box B – Total number of tenants and subtenants
- Box C – Address of the dwelling
- Name and address of the tenants and subtenants who signed the lease
- Name and address of the owner
*An eligible dwelling is a house, an apartment, a room, or a similar place of residence that’s located in Québec that acts as your principal residence. An eligible dwelling doesn’t include low-rental housing, a room in a hotel, etc.
