Definition : Common expenses (condo fees) - Unpaid expenses

Cette question est importante, car le syndicat doit à l’occasion agir en justice pour récupérer les sommes qui lui sont dues. Que ce soit par la voie de l’avis d’hypothèque légale ou par la cour du Québec, division des petites créances, le syndicat doit connaitre les rouages de ces recours. Les huissiers sont ceux qui exécuterons les jugements rendus et ont besoins d’instructions et d’informations du syndicat pour mener à bien leur charge.

The syndicate of co-owners must, to meet the expenses arising from the co-ownership and the operation of the immovable, collect from its members the necessary sums. It is therefore essential that the co-owners meet their financial obligations on an ad hoc basis. However, the failure to pay general or special  common expenses (condo fees) is one of the most contentious co-ownership’s issues. The role of the board of directors in this matter is paramount, it is up to it to collect the debts of the syndicate. Unless this task is delegated to the condo manager. The syndicate must therefore take the necessary steps to collect the unpaid sums.  A review of the options in such cases.
