Send RL-31 slips and tenant documents without a portal
Every February, owners who rented a dwelling must give each tenant an RL-31 slip — and tenants rarely have a portal account to receive it. doclinc lets you deliver RL-31 slips, leases and notices securely, to any tenant or owner, with no account to create.
Each document goes out as an encrypted link. The recipient verifies their identity with a one-time SMS code (or voice call, or a secret question) and opens it — no portal, no password. You keep a full audit trail and Canadian data residency, built for Quebec's Law 25.
The RL-31 season — and everything else you send tenants
- RL-31 slips are due by the end of February — for every tenant who occupied a unit on December 31.
- Tenants change often and rarely have a portal account to log into.
- Leases, renewals and notices contain personal information that shouldn't travel as a plain attachment.
- You may need proof that a notice was actually delivered and opened.
- Sending in bulk by email is fast but offers no recipient verification.
What doclinc gives property managers
- Reach any tenant or owner. No enrolment, no account — just an authenticated link by email.
- Recipient authentication. SMS code, voice call or secret question before the document opens.
- Send RL-31 slips in batch. Distribute slips at scale through the doclinc API.
- Proof of delivery. A full audit trail — useful for notices with legal weight.
- Canadian hosting. AWS in Canada (ca-central-1).
- Built for Law 25, PIPEDA and GDPR.

Frequently asked questions
When is the RL-31 slip due?
Owners who rented a dwelling on December 31 must give each tenant a copy of the RL-31 by the last day of February. Tenants use it to claim the solidarity tax credit.
Do tenants need to create an account?
No. The tenant verifies their identity with a one-time SMS code, a voice call or a secret question, then opens the document — no portal, no password.
Can we send RL-31 slips in bulk?
Yes. Through the doclinc API you can distribute RL-31 slips at scale, each delivered as its own authenticated link.
Is the data hosted in Canada?
Yes, on AWS infrastructure (ca-central-1), within Canadian data residency — built for Quebec's Law 25.
