Condo Contingency Fund Study in Montreal
The reserve fund study: an obligation as well as a real management tool
The creation of a condo contingency fund by any syndicate has been a legal obligation since 1994. The syndicate is also required to hold a condo contingency fund study in its condominium register, since the adoption of Bill 16 in December 2019.
Indeed, it is on the basis of this study, which deals with future costs of major renovations and replacement costs in the common property, that the annual budget of the fund is determined.

Difference between quebec fund and general fund
It should be noted that the condo contingency reserve fund in Quebec differs from the general contingency reserve fund. The terms of which are sometimes stipulated in the declaration of co-ownership, which is used to deal with any unexpected major repair and replacement costs that the syndicate may incur.
What are the benefits of the contingency fund study?
The contribution amount will not be left up to the administrators’ goodwill or up to comments made at the annual general assembly by co-owners. There will be less special assessments, which will reassure potential buyers and in doing so, this will have a direct impact on the value of the Syndicate’s assets and that of each private unit.
The contingency fund study conducted by Condo Stratégis gives administrators a clear picture of work to be done as well as the amount that must be invested. In addition, syndicate administrators will finally have a document on which to rely on whereby they can properly explain to each co-owner where money goes and where money will be invested yearly in the contingency fund. The study will allow administrators to have ample markers to perform annual general assemblies in an atmosphere that is better structured and surrounded by greater understanding.
