Law 16: what a condominium's planning must include
Who Law 16 applies to
Law 16 applies to every condo association in Quebec, without exception. Whether your building has 2 or 200 units, you must be compliant. The regulation has been in effect since August 14, 2025, and compliance is required no later than August 15, 2028.
Two complementary documents
The maintenance logbook lists all of the building's components and their history. The contingency fund study projects future costs over 25-30 years and calculates the required contributions. The two documents are complementary and mandatory: one describes what you own, the other what it will cost to maintain.
Staying compliant
The study must be updated every 5 years, or more often if major work is carried out or significant changes affect the building. A non-compliant association may face claims from co-owners and be ordered by a tribunal to comply.
