Declaration of condominium charges

For this declaration, which is mandatory when selling a property in a condominium, a fraction owner wishing to sell their home must ask the condominium administrator to issue a written declaration stating the value of all the condominium charges for their fraction.

This statement should specify the nature of the fraction, the amounts of the charges and the respective payment deadlines.

It should also mention any debts owed to the condominium (nature, amounts, dates of creation and due date).

We suggest that you use a real estate agency to help you collect these documents so that it doesn't become such a complex and expensive process.
