Brief on the Attestation on the Condition of the Co-Ownership
Article 1068.1 C.c.Q. and Draft Regulation: For a Syndicate Certificate Available from the Time of Listing
Briefs and opinions
In this brief addressed to Ms. France-Élaine Duranceau, Minister Responsible for Housing, Me Yves Joli-Cœur, President of the RGCQ, advocates for a more coherent application of Article 1068.1 of the Civil Code of Québec. He challenges the interpretation that the syndicate’s certificate on the condition of the co-ownership may only be issued after the signing of a promise to purchase. According to him, this reading goes against the spirit of the reform introduced by Bill 16, which aims to improve transparency in real estate transactions. The brief recommends that the regulation allow the certificate to be provided as soon as a unit is listed for sale, in order to ensure complete and reassuring information for both buyers and sellers.
