The approach differs depending on whether it is done by the owner of the dwelling or the tenant.
Owner
At the time of purchase, the owner of the lot receives a copy of the condominium rules. This is a mandatory annex to the deed of sale that must be kept.
In case of loss of the condominium by-law, it is possible to obtain a copy in several ways, namely:
- Request a copy of the co-ownership by-law from another co-owner, including a member of the union council, to make a copy thereof
- Download the condominium regulation on the extranet set up by the trustee professional
- In case of difficulty of access online or a syndicate of co-owners managed by a non-professional trustee, send a written request (preferably registered mail) to the trustee to obtain a copy of the condominium by-law. However, the trustee may provide for billing to provide this service (variable fees depending on the contract of the condominium trustee).
- Apply to the land advertising service. Copying costs 30. The request must be made through a form. This form differs depending on the date of registration of the condominium by-law (after 1956 or before).

A copy of the condominium by-law is delivery to the tenant when signing the lease. This copy is usually in the dematerialized format (electronic sending).
In case of loss of the condominium by-law, it is possible to obtain a copy from the landlord.
If the landlord has not been able to provide a copy of the by-law, it is possible to request it from syndic of co-ownership (who is not obliged to accept) or to the real estate agency that manages the property. This copy can be invoiced.
