December 23, 2021- As an employer, a syndicate of co-ownership has a right of management with respect to its employees, that is to say the right to direct them. This right of management must, however, be exercised in compliance with employment rules. It starts in the hiring process Leading staff is much more than just assigning tasks to the employee. A good employer/employee relationship is created from the hiring process. Experience and job references are important points to consider, as well as the motivation, skills and background of the candidate, in order to select well. This step should not be overlooked....

Every step of a construction project is crucial to its success. The Square Cartier co-ownership, which has recently been the subject of a lot of media coverage, is the perfect example of a poorly planned construction project. Indeed, it seems that the preliminary phases of this project suffered from a lack of research and analysis, leading the co-ownership to the situation it is in today: uninsurable and drowning in claims. In this column, we'll analyze the elements that should have been considered during the initial stages of the project, while offering design ideas that could have prevented these problems....

April 18, 2022 - Since their boom in the 1980s, co-ownership residences have grown increasingly popular. However, with a useful life cycle of about twenty years for many of their components, a notable deterioration of the building envelope has been observed for over a decade. This degradation is often attributable to a lack of rigor in maintenance programs, leading to premature wear of structural elements without administrators and managers being able to anticipate and prepare the necessary interventions....

Managing a co-ownership involves many responsibilities, among which loss prevention is essential. Among the risks most feared by directors, co-owners, managers and insurers, water damage occupies a prominent place. Indeed, a water leak, if not detected in time, can cause considerable damage, both material and financial. In addition to repair costs, water damage can lead to interruptions in the daily lives of residents, disputes between the syndicate and the offending co-owners and a deterioration in the quality of life within the building. For these reasons, it is essential to implement effective preventive measures, among which early detection plays a key role....

We are living in a paradoxical period, marked by the dazzling progress of computer technologies, the dematerialization of data, artificial intelligence, and their intrusion into all aspects of our lives. More than ever, people are posting on social networks and talking about their most recent outings, vacations or acquisitions, when not blabbering about their moods. Regardless, privacy remains a fundamental right that must be protected, sometimes against us....

Recently, I was confronted with a situation that raises important questions regarding insurance in divided co-ownership. After a loss caused by torrential rains, a co-owner refused to allow the contractor designated by the insurer to intervene in their private portion, preferring to hire their own contractor. This case led me to reflect on several issues: Can the co-owner refuse the contractor proposed by the insurer or the syndicate of co-owners? What are the possible alternatives to ensure that the work is carried out properly and on time? What are the rights and obligations of the syndicate of co-owners in such a situation? These questions directly touch on the legal obligations and practices to be respected when carrying out repair work in co-ownership, and deserve to be explored in depth to fully understand everyone's rights and responsibilities....
