Frequently asked questions
Questions clients ask before a consultation
General information only. The answer for your situation depends on its facts.
Can a syndicate recover unpaid common expenses?
Yes. The syndicate can claim unpaid common expenses and contingency fund contributions from the co-owner, and the Civil Code gives it a legal hypothec on the co-owner’s fraction to secure the debt.
Who pays for repairs to the common portions?
Generally the syndicate, through common expenses and the contingency fund. The declaration of co-ownership sets out how costs are shared.
What should I prepare for the first consultation?
A short summary of the matter, the key dates and any documents you already have, such as contracts, correspondence or notices. Confidential documents can follow once our conflict check is complete.
