The rental market in Vimont
Vimont is a quiet residential sector in eastern Laval, dominated by 1960s-1980s bungalows and modest plexes. The rental pool is smaller than in Chomedey or Laval-des-Rapides but very stable. Cartier metro proximity (10-15 min by bus) makes it sought-after for profiles wanting a price-vs-Montreal-access compromise.
Tenant profile — Vimont
Dominant profile: families 30-50 with school-age kids, young couples leaving Montreal for space, retirees. Strong presence of long-term profiles (5+ years in the area). Median Laval payment capacity. Lease stability often exceeds 36 months.
Average time to lease: 3 to 5 weeks year-round. The July 1 cycle is less pronounced than in Montreal — families move in July or August, sometimes September. Listings emphasizing parking, backyard, and school proximity perform particularly well.

Questions from Vimont owners
Answers specific to the local market, tenant profile, and your neighborhood's particularities.
Get my evaluationIs Vimont accessible without a car?+
Marginally. Buses 50, 70, 73 serve the area to Cartier or Henri-Bourassa metros, but off-peak service is limited. Almost all family tenants have a car — lack of parking sharply reduces the candidate pool.
Is my Vimont plex worth more than an equivalent in Saint-Hubert?+
Vimont and Saint-Hubert are on similar trajectories (residential suburb, family pool). Vimont has a slight edge for Montreal access (Cartier metro nearby), Saint-Hubert a slight edge for DEW (Pratt & Whitney, airport). Rents sit in the same range.
Should I allow pets in Vimont?+
It's a differentiator. A non-trivial share of Vimont family candidates has a dog or cat. Systematically refusing shrinks the pool by 20-30%. A well-drafted lease clause (pet specs, behavior, cleanliness) is more effective than refusal.
Is the Vimont sector sensitive to interest rates and the purchase market?+
Yes — when buying a Vimont home becomes prohibitive, more families stay renters longer. That's exactly the dynamic observed since 2022. Long leases (3-5 years) are on the rise.
