Definition : Share (private portion)

La webradio du mercredi 29 mars 2023 a porté sur le mode de répartition des charges communes entre les copropriétaires. La copropriété donne lieu à des dépenses relatives à l’entretien des parties communes et l’administration courante du syndicat. Les coûts d'administration, d'entretien, de remplacement, d'amélioration ou de transformation des parties communes constituent des charges qui sont réparties entre les copropriétaires d'un immeuble. Ce sujet semble simple, mais il peut devenir un casse-tête pour les petites copropriétés ou les grandes qui ont à gérer les clés de répartition de charges. Les administrateurs ne savent pas toujours bien comprendre le libellé de la déclaration en ce qui a trait aux parties communes à usage restreint, par exemple une terrasse, un stationnement ou un casier de rangement. Or, comment s’assurer que chacun paye sa juste part? Les invités étaient Me Charlotte Fortier, avocate en droit de la copropriété au sein du cabinet d'avocats Therrien Couture Joli-Coeur, monsieur Jasmin Patenaude, CPA, associé du cabinet Désormeaux Patenaude inc et monsieur Luc Poulin, administrateur. Cette webradio était animée par madame Valéry Couture, gestionnaire de copropriété de Condo stratégis. Pour visionner la webradio, cliquez sur le lien ci-dessous :

If you are shopping for an apartment, ask yourself if it is located in a divided or undivided co-ownership. Although these two concepts are similar, as they ultimately aim to share the same building by several people called co-owners, the legal and financial implications are not the same. These two types of co-ownership thus have very different terms of ownership, ownership and liability between the co-owners of a building. A look at the main distinctions between divided co-ownership and undivided co-ownership.  

In divided co-ownership, the right of ownership is divided, among the co-owners, by "fractions", each comprising a materially divided private portion (e.g. a residential unit, a parking or storage space, and sometimes even a plot of land) and a share  of the common portions. To each fraction is attached an undivided right of ownership in the common portions, and sometimes the right to use the common portions for restricted use. The fraction is the result of the division of a building to create a co-ownership. In other words, the addition of all the fractions constitutes, by the effect of the publication of a declaration of co-ownership, the co-ownership building.
