Interview with Patrick Lagacé – Buying a Condo

Bill 16, which now requires the maintenance logbook for buildings as well as a reserve fund study, is officially in force. These new obligations will have direct repercussions for both condo owners and co-ownership managers.

A new governance tool for co-ownerships has also been introduced: the certificate on the state of the co-ownership, an essential document designed to provide greater transparency in real estate transactions.

To discuss and concretely explain what this means, Me Yves Joli-Cœur, lawyer at Dunton Rainville and president and founder of the Regroupement des gestionnaires et copropriétaires du Québec (RGCQ), was a guest of Patrick Lagacé in a radio interview on 98.5 FM on August 27, 2025.

An interview not to be missed for understanding the impacts of this reform and its consequences on the management and maintenance of co-ownership buildings.
