Snowbirds and co-ownership Living: Managing Extended Absences Safely

Every year, many co-ownership owners leave their homes for several weeks or even months during the winter.

While these extended absences offer peace of mind for travelers, they may also create significant risks for the co-ownership corporation if proper precautions are not taken.

Water damage, insufficient monitoring, maintenance issues and emergency response challenges can all have serious consequences for the entire building.

Owners planning an extended absence should understand their responsibilities and take appropriate preventive measures before leaving.

Boards of directors and property managers must also establish effective procedures to reduce risks, clarify responsibilities and ensure rapid intervention should an incident occur.

During this webinar, our panelists will present practical recommendations for preparing a co-ownership unit before departure, explain the respective responsibilities of owners and co-ownership corporations and discuss best practices for preventing losses during prolonged absences.

Real-life examples will illustrate common mistakes and effective preventive strategies.

Participants will also have the opportunity to ask questions related to their own co-ownership situations before travelling.

Program: 

• Prepare a co-ownership unit for an extended absence.
• Understand the responsibilities of owners, boards and property managers.
• Implement preventive measures to reduce the risk of water damage and other losses.
• Learn best practices for monitoring vacant units.
• Review practical case studies involving winter travel and co-ownership claims.

Learn how to leave your co-ownership with confidence by implementing practical measures that protect both your unit and your co-ownership community throughout the winter season.
