My tenant sublet his apartment for a period of one month. The board of directors demands that I pay a fine on the pretext that it is a short-term rental and that everything is prohibited in our condominium. However, the Civil Code of Québec gives any tenant the right to sublet. So I could not refuse his request for subletting because there was no serious reason to do so. Now the syndicate is asking me…...
A co-owner has placed a satellite dish on his balcony, while the declaration of co-ownership prohibits it. Question: What should the board do in this situation?...
I am a co-owner in a co-ownership in phases of 10 syndicates of co-owners who share a grassy lot in common part. Until the arrival of young children in the condos the space was not very busy. Currently it is the regular meeting place for children and their parents (end of the day during the week and weekends depending on the temperature). The temporary installation of inflatable games and water games (stored after each use)…...
According to article 477 of the Code of Civil Procedure, the syndicate has the obligation to notify the co-owners of the subject of a legal claim to inform them, within five days of receipt of the notification.

The syndicate has been aware of this situation for a year and a half but nothing is happening. The last few…...
We want to make an amendment to our declaration of co-ownership to prohibit renting for less than one year. Question: Does such an amendment have to be notarized or if it were not, does it have legal value? In short, do amendments have to be notarized to require compliance?...
Bonjour, je souhaite remplacer le tapis de mon appartement pour faire poser un plancher de bois franc couleur hêtre. Un des administrateurs m'a dit qu'il fallait que j'obtienne l'autorisation du conseil d'administration et qu'il me ferait tout enlever et remettre à l'ancienne si jamais j'osais outrepasser leur refus potentiel. Pourtant c'est ma partie privative. Pourquoi le syndicat devrait donner son accord pour le changement du revêtement du sol de mon condo?...
Under the Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms, adisabled co-owner is asking us to install four automatic door openers in the common portions, two of which have a remote-controlled joystick. This co-owner told us that a significant portion of the installation costs would be covered by the Home Adaptation Program of the Société d'habitation du Québec (SHQ). However, when it was purchased, more than two years ago, this co-owner was already in a wheelchair. He…...
