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".

Dans mon texte précédent, j’ai mentionné qu’une firme de gestion passe en moyenne trois ans dans une copropriété. Pourquoi? Bien souvent parce qu’après quelques années, les membres d’un CA quittent et d’autres prennent la relève. Or, les nouveaux arrivants peuvent être enclins à critiquer la…...

Malheureusement, certains syndicats de copropriétaires éprouvent des difficultés à sélectionner les bons candidats. À l’inverse, certains gestionnaires ne savent pas dans quoi ils s’embarquent en acceptant un mandat, si bien que les mauvaises surprises peuvent miner la relation d’affaires entre eux....

22 août 2018 - La décriminalisation de la marijuana, en octobre 2018, est encore un sujet de controverse dans nombre de copropriétés québécoises. Elle oppose les copropriétaires favorables à cette mesure à ceux qui s’y objectent farouchement, notamment en raison de la propagation d’odeurs et des dangers inhérents à la fumée secondaire. ...

The statement of financial position, also known as the balance sheet, lists the assets, liabilities and net assets of the co-ownership syndicate at a specific time. It is a picture of the financial situation at a given date compared to other statements that usually cover a full fiscal year. The statement of financial position shows assets on one hand and liabilities and net assets on the other. Assets are always equal to liabilities plus net…...
