Article 1076 allows the syndicate, where authorized, to acquire or alienate fractions, common portions or other real rights. A fraction it acquires keeps its character as a private portion, but the syndicate holds no votes for it at the general meeting and the total number of votes that may be cast is reduced accordingly.
A fraction held by the syndicate (for example after a sale under judicial authority, or a parking space converted to collective use) remains a private portion with its relative value: it is not absorbed into the common portions.
Its votes leave the denominator: quorum and majorities are computed over the reduced total, not over 100% of the votes. The removed votes are not redistributed to the other co-owners.
CondoAide identifies syndicate-held fractions, excludes them from the vote and quorum calculations, and discloses the exclusion on the attendance sheet with a reference to this article.
