Document issued by a syndicate of co-owners at the request of an owner wishing to sell their fraction. Its form and content are determined by government regulation, and it must be provided in due time to the promisor (the prospective buyer). For this purpose, the syndicate has a period of 15 days to deliver the certificate to the co-owner who makes the request. This document provides an overview of the financial, material, and legal situation of the co-ownership, including in particular the state of the reserve fund, major repairs made to the common portions, as well as ongoing litigation involving the syndicate.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW! Article 1068.1 was introduced into the Civil Code of Quebec in December 2019. It requires the seller of a unit to provide the prospective buyer with a certificate from the syndicate regarding the condition of the co-ownership.
