What is Bill 16?
Bill 16 governs the management of divided co-ownerships. It imposes three pillars: a maintenance logbook, a contingency-fund study (a 25-year horizon) and an attestation by the association on the condition of the co-ownership. The goal: that every building be known, maintained and funded to last.
Is your condominium covered? Yes.
The rule covers all divided co-ownerships — small or large, high-rise or row, residential or commercial. No size is exempt; only certain review frequencies vary.
The deadlines: the 2025-2028 countdown
The implementing regulation has been in force since August 14, 2025. Existing associations have three years and one day — that is, until August 15, 2028 — to establish their first maintenance logbook and obtain a first contingency-fund study. The logbook is updated every year (professional review every 5 years, 10 years for small condominiums); the study is renewed every 5 years.
Casaforta's role: coordinate, not sign
We gather and organize the documentation, coordinate the authorized professional who produces and signs the official documents, communicate with the board and the co-owners, then ensure the annual and five-year follow-up. You keep a single point of contact; we handle the rest.
