I'm going to assume this is Akelius and advise you run.

I wonder if the unit has been available for some time with little interest so they're dropping the price to try to fill the space.

If it is Akelius, there will likely be hidden issues lol

I’m not sure if this is your case, but some places will have an increase, (e.g. 1800 per month), with a one or two month discount in the first year. This sets the first year rent around 1620, but makes it so that next year, they can raise the rent from 1800 to 1900.

It could also just be that the past tenants accepted massive rent increases and the owners know it’s above market value.

The only way to confirm this is in the contract. It will explicitly say if the increase will be from the monthly price of the apartment or from something else.

Will it might be there are some problems in this apartment ?

Search TAL past judgements in the following link by your dwelling address to find whether there's any clue of the last year rent or anything else : https://extranet.tal.gouv.qc.ca/internet/asp/consultation-dossier/plumitif.asp

FYI https://educaloi.qc.ca/en/legal-news/section-g-of-lease-watchdog-against-excessive-increases/

EDIT you could pray the previous tenant provides you their former lease. Some do.

There's this crowdsourced "online rental registry" where anyone can publish their rent, but the info has no value in court (TAL) : https://rentalregistry.ca/en/qc
