Boards have ultimate responsibility for how a condo fares, regardless of the involvement of a management company. In most cases boards are the ultimate decision makers, referees of minor issues, administrators, educators, and overall leaders of the community.
As a condo owner, you have the right to peacefully enjoy your home without disturbances from neighbors or community events. This includes protection from excessive noise, disruptive behavior, or other nuisances.
For instance, your condo board cannot evict you and force you to sell your unit (unless the court intervenes because your behaviour severely affects the community). Be sure to keep this in mind if you plan on buying a condo unit in the near future.
Can a condo board evict an owner in Ontario? No, a condo board can't evict an owner in Ontario. Ontario's recent inium Act doesn't give a inium corporation the authority to force an owner to sell his unit or expel them from his or her unit.
The most common methods of enforcement for inium rules in Ontario are for the corporation to give you notice to remedy the issue on a deadline, and then to remedy it themselves and bill you for it if you don't comply.
Section 83(1) of the Act requires landlords to notify the condo corporation of the rental and provide a copy of the lease within 10 days of signing.
Enforcing by-laws All members of condo communities must comply with the Condo Act and governing documents. Boards can follow these steps to resolve any issues: Notify residents who are not complying to make them aware of the issue and follow up as required. If necessary, send a letter from legal counsel.
Inium Laws in Ontario: In Ontario, iniums are governed by the inium Act, 1998. This act, however, does not specifically authorize condo corporations to fine unit owners for bylaw or rule violations.
