Here’s the story of a modest 1% and its major impact
In 2021, as the entire planet is shaken by a global pandemic, financial markets are collapsing, affecting both the largest companies and the smallest investments, disrupting the economy and financial stability of millions of people around the world.
At the same time, in Quebec, the global health crisis is taking on a worrying dimension for seniors, already vulnerable, now facing another growing reality: the difficulty of accessing affordable housing. This issue affects all Quebec households, but its negative impacts are particularly significant for seniors, accentuating their social and financial precariousness. Eddy Savoie, who has been sensitive and attentive to seniors for nearly 40 years, is concerned about the repercussions of this rapid deterioration in their financial security.
His verdict is quite clear: also directly hit by the crisis, a growing number of seniors with already modest incomes are facing increasing financial pressure, becoming ever heavier and with unforeseen consequences. Against a backdrop of rising living costs, their situation is becoming increasingly precarious and worrying, and their well-being is becoming less and less attainable.
In response to this alarming situation and motivated by the practical assistance it can provide, the Savoie Family took concrete action that had a major impact, bringing hope and solidarity. On October 1st, 2021, on International Seniors Day, they announced to their actual 7,000 residents, as well as future Soleil residents, that starting in 2022 and for a period of five years, their base rent would increase by only 1% per year, upon renewal. And this is how the 1% Commitment was born.
Unique to Les Résidences Soleil, the 1% Commitment quickly became a powerful symbol of stability and relief at a time when seniors needed it the most. The announcement was greeted as a true godsend during a period of great vulnerability. Since its implementation in 2022, nearly 7,000 eligible residents have benefited each year from a base rent increase limited to just 1% upon renewal.
Concrete, measurable, and unmatched support
To better understand the impact of this initiative, here is a comparison with the average increase rates set annually by the Tribunal administratif du logement (TAL) and the annual inflation rates:
| Years | TAL % | Les Résidences Soleil % | Inflation % |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 2,9 % | 1 % | 6,7 % |
| 2023 | 4,7 % | 1 % | 4,5 % |
| 2024 | 4,6 % | 1 % | 2,3 % |
| 2025 | 5,9 % | 1 % | — |
| 2026 | Coming soon | 1 % | — |
The end of this 5-year program is fast approaching. But thanks to the savings it helped them make over the years, our 7,000 residents who have been lucky enough to save money can look to the future in a better financial position.
If you would also like to benefit from this program, you have until December 31, 2025, to take advantage of an increase of only 1% in your 2026 base rent!

What will happen after 2026?
Les Résidences Soleil Social Mission makes residential living accessible to all seniors in Quebec by offering affordable housing in a variety of sizes and suited to all budgets.
True to this vision, we have always ensured that our current and future residents can live life to the fullest with us, without the cost of rent becoming an obstacle to their happiness.
It is important to remember that, since our founding nearly 40 years ago, rent increases at Les Résidences Soleil have always been calculated based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI), the most representative indicator of the cost of living for the majority of Canadians, while taking into account our operating costs.
In the spirit of the 1% Commitment, our goal will remain the same after 2026: to ensure long-term financial stability and peace of mind for all seniors.
