Do you need to provide a certificate from the condominium association when buying or selling a condo in Quebec? Since Bill 16 came into effect, condominium associations must provide a certificate attesting to the condition of the condominium (mandatory) when selling a unit or upon request.
To make things easier for you, we provide a FREE certificate template that is ready to download and complies with the new requirements.
Why is a certificate from the condominium association mandatory?
Since Bill 16 came into effect, the seller of a condominium unit must provide the buyer with an official certificate prepared by the association, in accordance with section 1068.1 of the Civil Code of Québec.
This document allows you to:
Inform the buyer about the financial and technical health of the condominium
Demonstrate the transparency of the syndicate
Reduce the risk of litigation during the real estate transaction
Facilitate and accelerate the sale of a condo
According to section 1068.2 of the Civil Code of Québec, the buyer may request this information in order to make an informed decision.
