Article 1077 makes the syndicate liable for damage caused to co-owners or third persons by a defect of design or construction of the immovable or by a lack of maintenance of the common portions, subject to its recourses against those responsible.
This liability covers, in particular, a lack of maintenance of the common portions: regular, documented maintenance reduces the risk of damage and supports the syndicate's defence.
It is one of the foundations of the self-insurance fund (art. 1071.1 CCQ), which serves to cover deductibles and repair damage caused to property.
CondoAide centralises the maintenance logbook, service contracts and minutes, so that maintenance of the common portions stays traceable.
