Understanding condo management in Quebec

What is Bill 16 (Loi 16)?

Bill 16 (Loi 16) is a major reform of Quebec condo law assented to in 2019. It requires all condo syndicates to maintain a maintenance logbook, obtain a contingency fund study from an authorized professional, and produce a syndicate certificate for every condo sale. These obligations have been in force since August 14, 2025, when the regulation adopted by decree 991-2025 came into force. The first logbook and the first study must have been obtained by August 15, 2028 (Bill 16, s. 151).

What is Bill 141?

Bill 141 (S.Q. 2018, c. 23) reformed insurance for divided co-ownerships. Since 2020, the syndicate must set up a self-insurance fund, liquid and available at short notice, used in particular to pay the deductibles of its insurance (art. 1071.1 C.C.Q.); since April 15, 2022, a regulation sets the co-owners’ minimum yearly contribution to that fund (CQLR c. CCQ, r. 4.1, s. 2). The syndicate must insure the building for its reconstruction value, appraised at least every five years by a member of the Ordre des évaluateurs agréés du Québec (art. 1073 C.C.Q.; r. 4.1, s. 3). Each co-owner must hold third-party liability insurance of at least $1,000,000, or $2,000,000 when the building has 13 or more fractions used, or capable of being used, as dwellings or for carrying on an enterprise (art. 1064.1 C.C.Q.; r. 4.1, s. 1). These rules are separate from Bill 16, which covers among other things the registry, the syndicate certificate, the maintenance logbook and the contingency fund study.

Does Law 25 apply to a condo syndicate?

Yes. The Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector (CQLR c. P-39.1), as amended by Law 25 (Bill 64, S.Q. 2021, c. 25), applies to every person carrying on an enterprise within the meaning of article 1525 of the Civil Code, which includes an organized economic activity that is not commercial, such as the administration of property (s. 1, P-39.1). The syndicate, whose object is the administration of the building and the common portions (art. 1039 C.C.Q.), collects and keeps personal information about co-owners and occupants; the Commission d’accès à l’information has held that a condo owners’ association carries on an enterprise subject to the Act (decision 1016883-S, October 19, 2020). The person with the highest authority within the syndicate is by default the person in charge of protecting that information; they may delegate the function in writing, and the title and contact information of the person in charge must be published on the syndicate’s website or, failing that, made available by any other appropriate means (s. 3.1, P-39.1). The syndicate must also establish and implement governance policies and practices for that information and publish detailed information about them (s. 3.2, P-39.1), keep a register of confidentiality incidents and promptly notify the Commission d’accès à l’information and the persons concerned when an incident presents a risk of serious injury (ss. 3.5 to 3.8, P-39.1), and answer access and rectification requests in writing no later than 30 days after receiving them (s. 32, P-39.1).

How is quorum calculated at a co-owners' meeting?

Quorum at a co-owners' meeting is reached when co-owners holding a majority of votes (50% + 1) are present or represented by proxy. In a 20-unit building with 10,000 total votes, at least 5,001 votes must be represented. If quorum is not met at the first notice, the adjourned meeting has no quorum requirement.

What is a condo contingency fund (fonds de prévoyance)?

The contingency fund is a mandatory financial reserve that every Quebec condo syndicate must maintain to cover major repairs and replacement of common areas. Under article 1071 of the Civil Code as amended by Bill 16, contributions to the fund are set based on the recommendations of a contingency fund study projected over at least 25 years and reviewed at least every 5 years (Decree 991-2025).

J'allais vous signaler un problème dans notre budget quand j'ai reçu votre courriel: c'était déjà corrigé, avec l'explication ligne par ligne. Du professionnalisme et de la proactivité comme ça, on n'en voit pas souvent. J'ai déjà recommandé CondoAide à un autre syndicat de même taille.
