What the municipal rules say
Latest source review: September 27, 2026. Individual access dates appear below.
Building rules
In a Québec divided co-ownership (condo), the declaration of co-ownership includes the building by-laws, which set the rules on enjoyment, use and upkeep of the private and common portions and on how the co-ownership is run.[1][2]
Building rules
In a Québec condo, the building by-laws bind a tenant or other occupant of a unit once the co-owner, or failing that the syndicate, has given them a copy of the by-laws or of their amendments.[3]
Building rules
A Québec condo owner who rents out their unit must notify the syndicate within 15 days, giving the tenant's name, the lease term and the date the tenant received a copy of the building by-laws.[4]
Buildings
Across Québec City in 2021, 48.8% of households rented and 51.2% owned their home; the city had 265,710 private households.[5][6]
Building rules
Québec City’s fire-prevention bylaw requires building exits and access routes to stay clear at all times. A door leading to an exit or its access route must not be hidden.[7]
The official process, step by step
- Read the by-laws in the declaration of co-ownership, which govern the common portions.[1][2]
- Book the elevator and confirm the truck’s parking space before moving day.[8]
- Agree on a staging area with the syndicate before unloading. Keep boxes and furniture out of corridors and landings used for exit access, and keep exit doors visible.[7]
