Article 1090 CCQ - Number of votes of each co-owner

Article 1090 gives each co-owner a number of votes proportional to the relative value of their fraction. It is the share set out in the declaration that determines the weight of each vote, not the number of people.

What it means for your syndicate

Quorum and majorities are therefore counted in votes, not heads: a large fraction weighs more than a small one. In undivided co-ownership, the co-owners split the votes attached to their fraction.

The declaration of co-ownership, in the schedule that describes the fractions, is the source of each unit's number of votes.

CondoAide uses each fraction's relative value to weight quorum and votes automatically.
