Question: Some of the co-owners in our syndicate want to put a resolution to a vote at our next annual meeting. What are the steps to follow? Do we have to send the text of our draft resolution to the board of directors in advance, or can we do that during the meeting? Is there a special legal procedure to follow? At the time of the meeting, if certain corrections need to be made to…...
Question: The syndicate's board of directors made the decision to cut down a tree at the entrance of the property. It was a very old apple tree. It was unpleasant for many people to know that we were constantly walking in the debris of cheekbones that fell on the ground, on the sidewalk or in the parking lot. Finally these apples ended up making a fermentation (very unpleasant smell). Now a co-owner is reproaching for not…...
For the respect and tranquility of all the occupants of our building, we wish to ban dogs. Question: Are we entitled to do so? Answer: There is no legislation in Quebec that formally prevents a syndicate of co-owners from including in the declaration of co-ownership a clause prohibiting the possession of a dog in the building.

The meeting of the co-owners was registered with the permission of the co-owners. Questions: As a co-owner, do I have the right to get a copy of the registration? Could the syndicate refuse me that? If so, why?...

When our Board of directors communicates by email, with all the co-owners, this is done so that we do not see the email addresses of the co-owners. As a result, no one can see the response of others, so we cannot discuss the subject of communication. I find this quite contradictory, since according to our declaration of co-ownership we have to provide our contact information and our email address to the board of directors. In…...
Question: During our last general meeting of co-owners, the president of the board of directors suggested to sell a parcel of land located in the backyard of our immovable. According to him, the amount that we could receive would allow to replenish the contingency fund. Can you tell me if that is possible? If this is the case, I would like to know who has the authority to make this decision....
Question: We are five co-owners in the immovable. Our director behaves like a dictator. Is there a way to remedy this situation?...
Question: Can we provide, in a declaration of co-ownership, that the quorum for a General Meeting of the co-owners requires all owners to be present or represented?...
Question: Can a co-owner call, on his own, a general meeting? If so, in what circumstances and following what procedure?...
