Article 1064 CCQ - Contribution to common expenses

Article 1064 requires each co-owner to contribute to the expenses of the co-ownership and to the contingency fund in proportion to the relative value of their fraction. Charges relating to common portions for restricted use (PCUR) are borne only by the co-owners who benefit from them.

What it means for your syndicate

The article distinguishes two families of expenses: general common expenses, allocated by relative value among everyone, and charges relating to PCUR (balconies, assigned parking, lockers), paid by the beneficiaries alone.

Charging a PCUR expense to all co-owners 'to keep things simple,' or having a subset pay a general expense, are non-compliant allocations.

CondoAide applies the correct key to each expense automatically, relative value for general expenses and beneficiaries for PCUR, within a single set of books.
