I will turn 70 years old this year. Due to my advanced age, I am starting to look into the tax benefits available for seniors. Questions: Am I eligible to apply for the tax credit for expenses incurred for home support services rendered or to be rendered once I turn 70? What amounts related to common expenses (condo fees) that I have paid this year can be taken into account?...
I live in a co-ownership where there are a few smokers, one of which is located directly below me. His smoke migrates into my apartment. I am worried of its effects on my health in the medium and long terms, as well as that of my spouse and those of my two children. Question: Can our syndicate compel these smokers to install an air freshener in their apartment?...
Le droit des intervenants de l'industrie de la construction, savoir les personnes qui ont participé à la construction ou à la rénovation d'un immeuble, à l'inscription d'une hypothèque légale constitue un privilège d'exception. En effet, cette hypothèque est prédominante car en cas de défaut et, ultimement, la vente de l'immeuble, l'intervenant de la construction pourra être payé en priorité avant même le créancier hypothécaire du copropriétaire !...
A co-owner made complaints against me to the syndicate of co-ownership. I asked for a list of complaints about me to find out exactly what I am accused of. I had a refusal as an answer. Question: How can I access this information? Which form do I need to fill out? Who do I contact if the syndicate does not cooperate?...
En tant que membre du conseil d'administration de notre syndicat de copropriété, je suis fréquemment confronté à une variété de documents et communications qui emploient divers acronymes et abréviations propres au secteur de la copropriété. Dans le but d'améliorer ma compréhension ainsi que celle des autres membres du conseil, et pour garantir une communication efficace et précise avec l'ensemble des copropriétaires, je me questionne sur l'existence d'un répertoire complet des acronymes et abréviations communément utilisés…...
We have a co-owner who has installed in his apartment a surveillance camera that can capture images of sidewalks located in common portions. This camera, located in his bedroom, can film passers-by through the window. We have been informed that this co-owner plans to install more cameras to monitor the parking lot and surrounding areas this time. These are not cameras that board members have access to. We have received questions and complaints about the…...
We would like to know what our rights are with respect to the members of the board of directors. We asked them on more than one occasion, a copy of the minutes of our last meeting of co-owners (which took place three months ago). Under article 1102.1 of the Civil Code of Quebec, the board of directors must send the co-owners the minutes of any meeting of the co-owners within 30 days of the meeting.…...
We are only two co-owners and directors. When I arrived a year ago, there was no management of the co-ownership, no assembly. I have held two meetings for a year and informed the other co-owner of the legislation in terms of co-ownership and the existence of the declaration of co-ownership, the latter having no notion on this subject. In addition, a year ago, I told him that his balcony needed to be repaired since it…...
The co-owner of the apartment below ours uses the barbecue on his balcony almost daily. The smoke and smell of grilled meat are so strong that I no longer wish to use my balcony. These fumes force me to keep my patio door and my windows closed. Question: Are there legal provisions to assert my rights?...
My upstairs neighbor set up bird feeder on her balcony. However, this attracts a lot of birds that make droppings on my balcony, causes an unpleasant sound noise (blue jays), and my cats who are used to going to the balcony catch the birds and eat them. Also, I fear that in the long term, we will find ourselves having problems with some rodents and / or early breakage due to droppings. For my neighbor,…...
