A well-managed co-ownership is one that maintains its value, anticipates its needs, and operates in a structured and efficient manner.

Their role goes far beyond coordinating day-to-day operations; they are a key player in shaping a long-term vision for the property. Through their…...

Managing a property entails distinct responsibilities depending on its ownership. While an individual owner enjoys complete autonomy regarding the maintenance of their property, co-ownership imposes a governance framework that oversees the preservation of collective assets. This distinction is central to management and asset management issues. An owner who enjoys exclusive rights over a single-family property, for example, exercises absolute control: they can preserve the quality of their property or, conversely, neglect it and suffer the consequences.…...

Absenteeism in the workplace is a sensitive issue for any employer, including a syndicate of co-owners that employs maintenance, janitorial, or administrative staff.

Among the required information is, among other things, the list of losses that have affected the common portions as well as the private portions subject to a sale during the past five years. However, the increase in claims can harm the reputation of a co-ownership and reduce…...

For many years, the co-ownership sector has evolved in a climate of latent tension, often fueled by a form of misunderstanding between management offices and the co-owners themselves. But is this tension really attributable to one or the other of these actors? One may legitimately doubt this when observing, on the one hand, the increasingly high-performing digital innovations developed by the sector, and, on the other hand, the efforts made by developers to design buildings…...
