A disaster occurred in the dwelling of a co-owner in the basement because of water infiltration caused by a crack in the concrete wall. Building insurance does not cover this type of loss. The syndicate quickly had the crack repaired. In terms of damage to the interior of the dwelling, some of the damage is to improvements (flooring) and some to basic structures (plaster walls). The co-owner refuses to call on his insurer to separate the…...
New co-owners have recently moved in. They cook a lot, a lot, with a lot of spices and other condiments. As soon as it gets out of the elevator an intense smell runs through the entire corridor. It is unbearable. Question: Is there a regulation/section of law regarding this inconvenience?...

My tenant has sublet their apartment for the second time this year, for a period of one month. The board of directors is asking me to pay a fine, claiming that it constitutes a short-term rental, which is prohibited in our co-ownership.

J’ai demandé récemment au conseil d’administration de modifier l’usage de mon dépanneur, pour en faire un restaurant. Le conseil a alors présenté et fait voter (à 88% des voix), à l’assemblée des copropriétaires, une résolution prohibant l’exploitation de tout restaurant dans l’immeuble.

I find this measure excessive, especially in the absence of reported incidents, and I expressed my concerns regarding the protection of personal information. I was told they had full discretion in this…...
Mon voisin de palier vit seul dans son condo. Il souffre de délire paranoïaque et, chaque nuit, frappe dans le mur avec un marteau ou un bâton, prétendant que j’opère une imprimerie dans mon unité. Il dit qu’il sent des vibrations en provenance de mon appartement. Je lui ai déjà permis de venir constater que je n’opère pas une telle entreprise et, bien qu’il n’ait rien trouvé, il continue son manège et ses accusations. J’ai…...
Our building has 34 indoor parking spaces, two of which are designated spaces for the disabled. These two sites were purchased from the developer by two co-owners owning an apartment. None of these co-owners are disabled. However, there is a co-owner who has recently become a person with reduced mobility and who is the owner of an indoor parking space not adapted to his needs. Question: Is there a law that would allow this co-owner…...
