Definition : Reasonable fees.

Maximum allowable fees established for certain services, which are usually charged by a syndicate of co-owners. Article 1070.1 of the Civil Code of Quebec states that every co-owner has the right, for a reasonable fee, to obtain a copy of the documents produced in the register of the co-ownership. In addition, article 1068.2 of the Civil Code of Quebec states that a person who promises to buy a fraction may request the syndicate to provide him with the documents or information concerning the immovable and the syndicate that will enable him to give enlightened consent. Many declarations of co-ownership provide that the board of directors may, by resolution, fix, generally and revisable annually, reasonable fees, to be paid by a promising purchaser of a fraction, in respect of the communication of documents or information concerning the immovable and the co-ownership.
