This relates to the proportion of the charges payable by a lessee. I understand what it means but am finding it difficult to phrase.

elimination of shares
I think the problem here is more that you have a doublet of two nouns + 'de', where it may be easier to render in EN if you try using verbs instead:
"en cas de création ou de suppression de lots"
"in the event of shares being created or eliminated"
Of course, I've not really concerned myself about the translation of 'lot', though I do believe we talk about 'shares' in a condominium?
I think the way they would be 'got rid of' makes it difficult to use many of the other usual translations for 'supprimer', but 'eliminate' could possibly work here.

(leasehold) phase-out of percentage ratios; (housing estate) de-lotting
In an housing estate/urban development, lotting and de-lotting - though not Googling well - are London University-accepted (!) conveyancing terms.
Discussion
(=if the total number of units is increased or decreased)
From client-provided glossaries:
Article 2. CREATION, ALTERATION AND TERMINATION OF CONDOMINIUMS or
......remove the unit from the condominium.
I too wish this could be a happy place.
