Condo life and its obligations
For more than 50 years now, divided co-ownership has found a prominent place in the Quebec and Canadian real estate landscape by attracting one household in eight in Canada, convinced of making this choice of collective life because of its many advantages and its accessibility.
The life of the community of co-owners is framed by the declaration of co-ownership, a contractual document which must be respected, as well as the building by-laws and regulations.
Since the reform of co-ownership law in Quebec in 2019, the board of directors of the co-owners syndicate has seen its responsibilities and powers increased, always in order to exercise its main function: the conservation and administration of its building.
At Judilex, our expertise in counsel and litigation is largely oriented towards co-ownership law, a particularly complex area of law.
