Questions
What ownership share do we need to approve this decision?
How to explain majority, represented ownership share, second call, and legal exceptions in a condominium meeting.
There is no single number. Total building value is not market value: it is the ownership share of the units. Main exceptions: innovations, changes to expense criteria, exclusive-use/lift expenses, and matters requiring unanimity or a special majority.
Condo organizes notices, attendance, votes by unit, minutes, and documents so administrators can explain the decision with context.
What this means
Article 1432 gives the general decision rule and second call, but total building value should be read as ownership share. Exceptions appear when the law requires another criterion: article 1424 expenses, article 1425 innovations, unanimity, or qualified majorities. Condo records decision type, votes, ownership share, and minutes.
Points to confirm
- Total building value means ownership share, not market valuation.
- Exceptions include innovations, expense criteria, and matters with special majorities.
In the operation
Before the minutes, the administrator records present units, represented ownership share, vote result, and whether absent owners must be notified.
Trust risk
If the applicable majority is unclear, the decision can be disputed even after a vote.
