The seller and buyer sign a promise to purchase and a deed of sale, landlords and tenants sign a lease, and co-owners sign a declaration of co-ownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These contracts provide that the signatories have commitments and obligations toward one another and that they agree to comply with certain rules or practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond these commitments, owners or tenants of a property must also maintain good relations with their neighbours. Unfortunately, some people may act in bad faith or wrongly believe that they can exercise their rights at the expense of their neighbours\u2019 rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most disputes arising from these relationships fall within the broad area of law we call <em>real estate and neighbour disputes<\/em>. Indeed, the <em>Civil Code of Qu\u00e9bec<\/em> and certain specific statutes set out general rules governing these relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-avocats-a-quebec-et-levis\">Lawyers in Qu\u00e9bec City and L\u00e9vis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A competent lawyer<\/strong> in real estate law and neighbour disputes understands the importance of your real estate assets and the potential consequences of the outcome of your file on your financial situation.
