2 août 2022 - Acteurs importants dans plusieurs copropriétés, les employés d’un syndicat de copropriétaires en assurent le bon fonctionnement en exécutant divers services attendus par les résidents.

Or, la Loi sur les normes du travail prévoit que tout employé a droit à un environnement de travail exempt de toute forme de harcèlement. Aussi, par exemple, en…...

Voilà bientôt 30 années que le métier de syndic de copropriété ( dénommé chez vous : gestionnaire de copropriétés) dispose en Belgique d’une reconnaissance légale.

In theory, your co-ownership doesn't necessarily need a Chartered Professional Accountant to present its financial information, whether it's financial statements, financial forecasts or financing applications. Competent administrators or a manager could do the work and present the required financial information well.

February 22, 2022 - The archives of a co-ownership are a set of documents kept being able to manage the building, prove rights or testify to certain activities. I am sometimes asked for how long documents filed in the co-ownership register should be kept by the syndicate.

November 18, 2021- When it comes to hiring labour in a co-ownership, many directors think that it would be simpler and less expensive if it were provided by contract that the janitor, for example, would be considered a "self-employed". By doing so, it would not be appropriate to deduct deductions for tax purposes, or contributions to Employment Insurance or the Québec Pension Plan (QPP) at source. In addition, it is believed that this avoids red…...

A syndicate of co-owners has the obligation to account for its operations by funds.
