Frequently asked questions

Does aideTAL.ca replace a lawyer?

No. aideTAL.ca is a tool that structures your documents according to the Quebec Civil Code and TAL requirements. For complex cases (contested termination, personal injury, etc.), consult a lawyer or the Bar's Legal Clinic. Our site is designed for standard cases where the law is clear but the paperwork is intimidating.

Is the TAL_001 form you fill accepted as-is?

Yes — we directly fill the official TAL PDF downloaded from tal.gouv.qc.ca. You just print it, sign it, and file it (online via TAL's portal, by mail, or in person at your district office). It's identical to the paper form available from TAL.

What are the actual TAL filing fees?

TAL fees in 2026 are $80 per request (may vary by request type). This amount is paid directly to the TAL, not to aideTAL.ca. If you receive social assistance or have low income, you can request a fee waiver directly from the TAL.

Is my data confidential?

Yes. Your data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS), stored on servers in Canada, and compliant with Quebec's Law 25 and PIPEDA. We never sell your information. Your documents and evidence are accessible only to you. You can delete your account at any time from the profile page.

What does the AI exactly do?

The AI does 3 things: 1) it reads your lease photos or documents to pre-fill your data; 2) it drafts your demand letters and TAL form paragraphs citing the right Civil Code articles; 3) in mediation, it analyzes message tone and suggests diplomatic rewordings when too tense.

You can always edit what the AI suggests before sending. You stay in control.

What if the landlord refuses mediation?

If they explicitly refuse or don't reply within 14 days, you simply click "Escalate to TAL" and the site switches to creating an official case. Information already entered is preserved — no double entry.

Does the site work on phone?

Yes — everything is mobile-first. You can complete your entire case from your phone, take evidence photos directly, and sign your addendum if mediation succeeds. For final printing of the TAL form, a computer or printer is needed.

What if I can't pay?

Your 1st case is 100% free, mediation included — no credit card required. For additional cases ($39), if you're truly in need, contact us via chat or /contact — we'll find a solution. You can also reach out to a local housing committee: most are aideTAL partners and can give you a code to make all your cases free.

How long does case prep take?

Average 10-15 minutes to answer the questionnaire. Generating each of the 3 documents takes ~30 seconds. You can save and resume anytime.

If I win at TAL, do I recover my investment?

TAL fees can be claimed from the landlord if you win (to request in your conclusions). Your 1st aideTAL case is free, so nothing to claim. For subsequent cases, aideTAL.ca's $39 fees are generally not recoverable from the landlord, but you can mention them in your damages.
