Article 1073 CCQ - Syndicate insurance

Article 1073 requires the syndicate to take out, with a reasonable deductible, insurance against ordinary risks (such as theft and fire) covering the whole immovable, except improvements made by a co-owner to their portion. The amount insured must correspond to the reconstruction value, re-evaluated at least every five years.

What it means for your syndicate

The syndicate must also carry civil liability insurance, covering in particular the directors, the manager and the officers of the meeting.

The re-evaluation of the reconstruction value, at least every five years, must be done by a member of a designated professional order: this is a reserved act CondoAide does not produce.

This regime comes from Bill 141 (2018). CondoAide keeps insurance contracts and certificates, and the evaluations received, in the register.
