To obtain a quote for kitchen renovation work, I need to consult specific documents in our syndicate's register, particularly the plumbing plans. These are essential to provide the contractor with accurate information about the installations and plan the work. However, the administrators are delaying access to these documents until Monday at 2:00 PM and are demanding $30, plus photocopying fees. Question: Can directors delay access to the register to a specific date? Are they allowed…...
I am co-owner of an apartment that is located on the ground floor in a fairly old building. The service crawl space below my apartment is not heated. This common portion of the building is currently 9 degrees in the middle of it and our floor is frozen (10.6°C on the floor in our daughter's room and in the bathroom). We are therefore forced to heat really hard and constantly because the temperature ensuring a comfort…...
We are living in a worrying situation. New co-owners have just moved in and are both very old, the woman severely disabled (in a wheelchair without autonomy) and her husband spends long periods in the hospital. The ambulance comes regularly because the woman falls and sometimes spends whole nights or days immobilized on the ground before being able to call for help. We fear that this situation will worsen and that the lady, for example…...
The financial situation of our co-ownership is becoming increasingly concerning, as current revenues are no longer sufficient to cover essential expenses and maintain services. Despite several attempts, including surveys with various proposed dates, I have been unable to gather enough participants to meet the quorum required for critical decision-making meetings. However, an increase in condo fees is essential to restore financial balance sustainably, but I cannot implement this necessary change without holding a meeting with…...
Questions: How can I get the contact information of a new co-owner who has never moved into the condo since the purchase? We have no information available about him (no phone number, no email address). How do I trace it?...
Question: We would like to know if the law requires having our syndicate’s financial statements audited by an accountant....
As a member of the board of directors of our syndicate of co-owners, we have recently encountered cases of co-owners losing their garage door remote controls. We would like to remind everyone that, in accordance with the by-laws of the immovable, replacement costs are borne by the co-owner in case of loss. We are considering proposing the signing of a contract between the syndicate and the co-owners to clarify the obligations and responsibilities of each…...
Three months ago, we were invited to the annual meeting of co-owners. During this meeting, the co-owners were consulted on the forecast annual budget. However, since then, we have not received any notice from the board of directors detailing the exact amount of our contribution to the operating budget of our co-ownership. We would like to know when this notice will be issued so that we can comply with the financial obligations set forth. Questions: Does…...
In our building, we have only one elevator that may occasionally be out of service due to blackouts or power outages. We do not have a generator. Our co-ownership has 40 units, two of which are occupied by residents with reduced mobility. The purchase and installation of a generator would cost a minimum of $200,000. This proposal was presented at the last annual meeting, but the majority of co-owners do not want to pay for it.…...
In our co-ownership, the use of indoor parking spaces is strictly regulated for safety and proper management. Our declaration of co-ownership, in the building regulations section, states that no object other than an automobile may be stored in an indoor parking space without prior written authorization from the board of directors. It is therefore prohibited to store items, except for a bicycle when a bike rack is present at the end of the space. However,…...
