54.13. To meet rental housing needs, the council of a local municipality, except the council of Ville de Montréal, may, by by-law,(1) designate sectors or classes of immovables, or any combination of the two, where conversion to divided co-ownership is prohibited;
(2) make such conversion subject to conditions which may vary according to the sector, the class of immovable, or any combination of the two. In the case of Ville de Québec and of a municipality which has a planning advisory committee established under the Act respecting land use planning and development (chapter A-19.1), the by-law may provide that the conversion shall be subject to authorization by the council;
(3) establish the procedure of application for and issue of a certificate attesting that the conversion project complies with the by-law and the procedure of application for authorization by the council, and the fee exigible for the issue of the certificate and for the consideration of such an application.
The certificate shall be issued, upon payment of the fee, by the officer in charge of the issue of permits and certificates in respect of planning.
