I was absent during the last meeting of co-owners. The directors are "all-rounders" and I don't see why I should listen to what they have to say. Moreover, as usual, they voted on completely absurd matters, such as sumptuous rehabilitation works for the entrance hall of the building. Question: Am I still obliged to submit to the decisions made there?...
Question: I do not understand how my right to vote at co-ownership meetings works. As a matter of fact, I am not the sole owner of my unit: my spouse and I are both on the ownership title, we are co-owners of equal shares (50%-50%). I have the impression that if I go to a meeting without my spouse, I will not be able to vote validly. Is this correct?...
Question: One of the co-owners disturbs the co-owners' meetings with his endless questions and his incessant insults towards the members of the board of directors. He is always in dispute over everything, either on principle or just to be in contradiction. What can be done?...
In our co-ownership, there is a clear disinterest of the co-owners which results in a very low attendance at the meetings of the co-owners. For a number of years now we have had difficulty reaching the quorum. The situation is difficult because decisions that sometimes happen to be made are not followed. Question: What is there to do with such disinterest?...
At the last annual meetings, directors held more than 50% of the votes (proxies plus their own votes). He has enough votes to be re-elected year after year. We feel helpless because we don't really have the power to turn the tide when voting. Question: Is it possible in the future to limit the number of proxies that a director can hold at meetings of co-owners? ...
Our co-ownership consists of a small building. We only have 3 units. We don't really need to meet this year, because nothing interesting is to report and anyway we talk regularly in front of the building. Everything is going well. My neighbour tells me that it would be preferable to respect a certain formalism by meeting as part of a co-owner's meeting. As for me, I find this exercise totally useless. Question: Is it possible…...
We have just bought a new apartment in a co-ownership of more than one hundred apartments. There are still several unsold units in the building. I am one of the newly elected directors at the special meeting for the election of the new board. We have asked the developer to pay his common expenses like the other co-owners. The latter claims that he does not have to do this both for apartments and for unsold…...
While the declaration of co-ownership of my immovable allows domestic animals in the co-ownership, the board has decided at its last meeting, to which I did not even attend, that my dog was a "harmful animal" and that it was no longer allowed in the compound of the co-ownership. They thus require that I remove it from the co-ownership. Question: Does the board have such powers?...
Nos administrateurs souhaitent percevoir une rémunération car ils considèrent que cette fonction leur prend beaucoup de leur temps et de leur énergie. Nous n'avons pas assez de budget pour cela. Un des administrateurs a dit lors de la dernière assemblée que ça n'avait pas de sens de faire ça bénévolement et que le syndicat avait l'obligation de rémunérer les administrateurs. Question: Est-ce que c'est vrai que la Loi nous oblige à rémunérer les administrateurs?...
Question: What happens if the owners do not find among them the three directors required by the declaration of co-ownership? Is it possible to outsource this mandate, that is to say to a consulting firm?...
