Article 1070.1 CCQ - Consulting the register and copies

Article 1070.1 governs access to the register: the documents must be available for consultation, at reasonable hours, in the presence of a director or a designated person, as provided by the by-laws. Each co-owner may obtain a copy for a reasonable fee.

What it means for your syndicate

The right of access is not a right to take the originals: it is a right to consult on site and a right to obtain copies, for which the syndicate may charge the reasonable cost.

A government regulation may set conditions or limits on this access. A well-organised register makes these requests - common on a sale - easier to handle.

CondoAide makes the register available online and logs who accesses it, simplifying consultation by co-owners and the delivery of copies.
