4. Governing Laws:

 

Bill 141 aims to formalize and regulate the rules around co-ownership in Quebec. On June 13th, 2018, Bill 141 was adopted to amend the Civil Code of Quebec regarding divided co-ownership insurance. Since then, different parts of the law have come into force in 2020, 2021, and 2022.

  1. The law addresses various aspects of condo management, including insurance, reconstruction costs, and the syndicate’s obligations.

 

Key Points of Bill 141:

 

Condo Reconstruction Cost and Certified Appraisal:

  • As of April 15th, 2021, syndicates (condo associations) must take out insurance to cover the reconstruction cost of the building in the event of a major loss.

  • Syndicates must ensure they have sufficient funds to cover reconstruction costs, preventing co-owners from having to pay for damages if the contingency fund is insufficient.

  • Every five years, the syndicate must obtain an appraisal of the building by a certified member of the Ordre des évaluateurs agréés du Québec (OEAQ).

 

Self-Insurance Fund for Deductibles:

  • As of April 15th, 2022, syndicates must maintain a self-insurance fund to cover the deductible in case of a claim.

  • This fund is separate from the contingency fund used for maintenance and operational costs.

  • The amount of the self-insurance fund must be equal to the highest deductible among all insurance coverages taken out by the syndicate.

  • Co-owners may need to make additional contributions if the fund is depleted due to a claim.

 

Description of Private Portions:

  • Under Bill 141, the syndicate must provide an accurate description of the private portions of the building.

 

 Rights and Obligations:

  • The law outlines the rights and obligations of both the condominium corporation and unit owners. It covers financial management, governance, maintenance, repairs, and dispute resolution processes.

  • In summary, Bill 141 significantly impacts condo management in Quebec, providing a more structured legal framework for co-ownership. If you’re a condo owner or considering becoming one, understanding this law is crucial for navigating your rights and responsibilities within the condominium community.

 

5.  Declaration of Co-ownership:

 

  • The declaration of co-ownership is a foundational legal document in condominium living. It outlines the rights, obligations, and rules that govern the relationship between co-owners, the syndicate (condo association), and the building.

 

Key elements in the declaration include:

 

  • Description of Private Portions: Details about individual units, common areas, and exclusive-use areas.

  • By-Laws: Rules and regulations governing behavior, use of common areas, and maintenance responsibilities.

  • Contingency Fund: Provisions for financial planning and reserve funds.

  • Insurance Obligations: Requirements related to insurance coverage.

  • Syndicate’s Responsibilities: Duties of the condo association.

  • The declaration ensures transparency, clarity, and consistency within the condominium community.

 

    Bill 16: Improving Co-Ownership Framework:

 

  • Quebec’s Bill 16, passed in December 2019, significantly impacts divided co-ownerships. Its objectives include:

 

  • Enhanced Framework: Providing a more robust legal framework for condo owners.

  • Building Inspections: Regulating inspections to maintain building quality.

  • Communication and Transparency: Facilitating better communication between boards and co-owners.

  • Deposit Protection: Safeguarding deposits paid to builders or developers.

 

Bill 16 emphasizes better communication, comprehensive financial planning, and transparency within co-ownership communities.
