The life of the co-ownership is not only of interest to its owners and occupants, but also to their insurers. This is all the more true since it is known to all that condominium disasters are numerous: water leak, water damages, vandalism, fire, etc. Let's go back to the basics of property insurance. The Syndicate is required to take out insurance covering the common portions, the private portions (excluding improvements made to them) and movable property belonging to the syndicate. As for the improvements that have been made to the units, it is up to each co-owner to protect them with individual insurance, both those made by the previous owners and theirs. Finally, it is generally required (if only for the protection of co-owners) that tenants are also insured with respect to their movable property....

The agenda lists the questions to be voted on and the information and consultation items that will be addressed at the meeting of co-owners. The decision-making power of the meeting of co-owners is defined by the Civil Code of Québec and the declaration of co-ownership (Constitutive Act of Co-ownership). The chairman of the meeting of co-owners ensures that it runs smoothly and submits to the co-owners the proposals on which a vote must be taken. It must thus determine with respect to each item on the agenda who has the authority to decide. Its powers are set out in the building regulations....

January 27, 2023 – In the summer of 2022, the Government of Quebec not only banned dual representation but since then also requires a broker who accompanies a buyer without a contract, to denounce him with more transparency that he does not represent him and that rather, he represents only the client with whom he is bound by a written contract. What does it mean ?...

Depuis plusieurs années, il a été constaté que le métier de « syndic de copropriété », dénommé au QUÉBEC « gestionnaire de copropriété » n’attirait pas de nouvelles vocations principalement parmi les jeunes. Les jeunes ou les moins jeunes qui choisissent ce secteur d’activités sont bien rares à se destiner au métier d'agent immobilier-syndic. Malgré les efforts des écoles en charge de la formation de base et des fédérations activent dans le secteur, le nombre de syndic inscrit sur le tableau de ’Institut Professionnel des agents Immobiliers (I.P.I.) est en constante diminution. ...

December 10, 2012 - Proper governance of a co-ownsership building starts with diligent and thorough maintenance. Unfortunately, this responsibility is often overlooked by many co-ownership syndicates until the consequences of their procrastination result in exorbitant repair costs. History has shown that delaying necessary maintenance work only worsens and increases expenses exponentially. Neglecting preventive maintenance and regular inspections can lead to catastrophic failures, compromising the safety of residents and the value of their real estate investment....

Si vous habitez, administrez ou gérez une copropriété possédant un stationnement souterrain, vous avez fort probablement entendu parler de la loi 122 (chapitre bâtiment du Code de sécurité) adoptée il y a quelques années. Une des dispositions de cette loi cible les parcs de stationnement étagés. Si votre stationnement possède une zone de roulement ne reposant pas au sol, la loi exige, entre autres choses, qu’une vérification approfondie soit faite tous les 5 ans par un ingénieur. La première vérification approfondie devant être réalisée de 12 et 18 mois suivant la fin de la construction....

Every January or February, the manager, the accountant or the administrator of the co-ownership syndicate must complete, at the request of the co-owners concerned, the form TPZ-1029.MD.5-V for the tax credit for home support services for seniors. Completing this form requires an analysis of the accounting books to use only eligible expenses. This work can take a lot of time, depending on the volume of transactions of the condominium. It is tempting to charge the co-owner requesting this form a fair amount of professional fees for the production of the said document. Especially that in condominiums, the trend is according to the user-pays principle. Can we do it?...
