I asked the management company responsible for the property but no response yet. Are they legally obligated to provide it and in what delay>
In New York, the management company is typically required to provide condominium by-laws upon request. Generally, they should respond within a reasonable timeframe. If you continue to face issues, you may want to send a formal written request.
Did you send your request in writing?
I asked by email, the condominium is in montreal, quebec
Since the condominium is in Montreal, Quebec, different rules apply. Condominium by-laws in Quebec are governed by the Civil Code of Quebec. The syndicate of co-owners (similar to a condominium association) is legally obligated to provide these documents.
Here’s what you can do:
- Send a formal written request via registered mail to the syndicate of co-owners.
- If they fail to respond, you can seek assistance from the Régie du logement (Quebec's rental board).
