I adopted my dog many years ago, and he is much more than just a pet—he is part of my family. However, to my surprise, the board of directors of my co-ownership decided at their last meeting that he would now be considered a "harmful animal". This decision was imposed on me without prior notice or the chance to defend myself. The board is now requiring me to give him up. Question: What are my rights…...
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?...
Our directors would like to be paid, arguing that their duties require significant time and energy. However, our current budget does not allow for such an expense. During the last meeting, one director stated that it was unreasonable to take on these responsibilities voluntarily and claimed that the syndicate has a legal obligation to pay its directors. Questions: Is it true that the law requires co-ownership syndicates to pay their directors? What would you recommend in this…...
Question: Are the co-owners of a vertical co-ownership considered undivided in the horizontal co-ownership? And if so, what would be the impact on representativeness at the general meeting of the horizontal co-ownership (AGM)? For example, could a few co-owners of a vertical co-ownership act for all the co-owners without having previously held proxies as for the undivided co-owners of a condo during the vertical co-ownership AGM?...
In our co-ownership, consisting of 6 apartments, a significant issue has arisen: it is nearly impossible to appoint, among the co-owners, the three administrators required by our declaration of co-ownership. This lack of involvement heavily impacts the day-to-day management of the building and creates tensions among the co-owners. Question: What happens if the owners do not find among them the three directors required by the declaration of co-ownership? Is it possible, in such a case,…...
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…...
I have just been elected to the board of directors of my condominium. I realize that, as part of my duties, I receive information and documents on co-owners that are extremely confidential. This is the case, in particular, for the health problems of a co-owner. The latter cannot evacuate the building by its own means in the event of a fire and requires the assistance of firefighters in such circumstances. I also have access to…...
At our most recent co-owners’ meeting, the president of the board of directors proposed selling a portion of the land located in the backyard of our building. He explained that the proceeds from the sale could be used to replenish the reserve fund, which, according to him, is currently insufficient to cover the anticipated future costs of major repairs and replacements of the common portions. Questions: Could you confirm whether such a sale is legally…...
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?...
Question: We are five co-owners in the immovable. Our director behaves like a dictator. Is there a way to remedy this situation?...
