Article 1457 states the general principle of civil liability: every person has a duty to abide by the rules of conduct that apply to them so as not to cause injury to another, and must make reparation for injury caused by their fault.
This principle applies to everyone in a co-ownership (co-owners, directors, the syndicate) and often grounds claims for damages (water damage, lack of maintenance, etc.).
Liability may also arise from the act of another person or from the property in one's custody, a situation common in a shared building.
CondoAide keeps the documents and history (maintenance, decisions, notices) that help establish the facts and the diligence exercised if a claim arises.
