1791. The budget forecast shall be prepared on the basis of one year of full occupancy of the immovable; in the case of an immovable under divided co-ownership, it is prepared for a period beginning on the date of registration of the declaration of co-ownership.
A budget includes, in particular, a statement of debts and claims, revenues and expenditures and common expenses. It also indicates, for each fraction, the likely amount of property taxes, the rate of such taxes and the annual amount of contributions to the common expenses. The part of that amount intended for the contingency fund must correspond either to 0.5% of the reconstruction cost of the immovable or to the recommendations made in a contingency fund study.
Where the amounts provided in the budget forecast prepared by the developer for the fiscal years during which the developer controls the syndicate are more than 10% below the amounts the syndicate had to incur for the first full fiscal year after the developer lost control of the syndicate, the developer shall reimburse to the syndicate the difference between the amounts provided in the forecast and the amounts actually incurred. However, the developer is not bound to do so to the extent that the difference is attributable to decisions made by the syndicate on or after the day a new board of directors was appointed following the loss of such control.
