Excerpt from the article written by Me\u00a0<\/strong>Annie Madigan<\/a>\u00a0and Me\u00a0<\/strong>Pierre-Alexis Bombardier<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“It is common practice for syndicates of co-owners to install and operate surveillance cameras within the buildings they administer. The purpose is often to deter theft or vandalism and to ensure the safety of the occupants. Another purpose may be to ensure compliance with regulations, such as the ban on Airbnb-type short-term rentals.<\/em><\/p>\n

However, the syndicates and their managers must consider the impact on the privacy of the co-owners, occupants or even simple users of the building (e.g.: guests or employees). In particular, they must ensure that they respect the legal framework regarding the collection and use of personal information.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Commission d’acc\u00e8s \u00e0 l’information du Qu\u00e9bec (“Commission”) issued a serious reminder in this regard to a building in downtown Montreal.<\/em><\/p>\n

The same principles may apply to many buildings held in divided co-ownership. What about it?”<\/p>\n
