Open a sessionForms and contracts
Before you buy or sell a property, why not take a little time to review the OACIQ’s mandatory and recommended forms used by your broker? They will give you a good idea of the main steps involved in a real estate transaction.
Please note that these forms are provided for illustration purposes only and cannot be used for an actual transaction.

Residential immovable: mandatory forms and statements in any brokerage contract or transaction proposal concerning the sale, purchase, exchange or lease
To ensure a better protection of public, the OACIQ published mandatory forms regarding chiefly residential immovables containing less than 5 dwellings. These forms were designed taking into account the rules provided in the new Regulation respecting contracts and forms. We will deal with them in the first part of this article. Then, we will discuss the mandatory statements that brokers must include in their contracts or transaction proposals regarding a chiefly residential immovable containing less than 5 dwellings, in particular cases where the forms will not necessarily be used by brokers.
Transitional Annex: Form availability
Since May 1, a ''Transitional Annex'' form must be attached to any brokerage contract entered into on or after that date. We remind you that a PDF version of this form was made available on Synbad on April 20. A carbonless paper version is also available from the Synbad online store.
