Your Dedicated Property Lawyer in Quebec

Our lawyers defend your rights. They provide clear, strategic solutions tailored to each sector of activity.

Owners and Co-owners

In the field of residential real estate, each party has well-defined rights and obligations, but relationships between parties can sometimes become sources of tension. In matters of co-ownership, our lawyers can assist you in enforcing building regulations, ensuring payment of contributions to common expenses, and participating, according to established rules, in decisions regarding work and maintenance of the building. Conflicts may arise regarding the interpretation of regulations, the allocation of expenses, major work, or the use of common areas. Among the most frequent disputes our lawyers handle are latent defects in a building as well as disturbances of enjoyment, for example in cases of excessive noise or maintenance issues. A thorough understanding of the legal framework and available remedies often allows for more effective prevention or resolution of these conflicts.
