Email addresses of the co-owners

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…...

Prohibit dogs in a co-ownership

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. It is one thing to prohibit such an animal inside the private portion of a co-ownership. But it…...

Felling a tree in the common portions

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…...

What are the conditions for submitting a candidacy as a director?

Questions: I need to confirm if there's a specific deadline for submitting a candidacy as a director, particularly if a co-owner can nominate themselves during the annual assembly. Additionally, is it possible for board members to implement a rule prohibiting nominations on the evening of the co-owners' meeting? Understanding these aspects is crucial for maintaining a transparent and orderly nomination process. This knowledge will help ensure that all potential candidates have a fair chance to…...
