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 inium Management Regulatory Authority of Ontario (CMRAO) administers the inium Management Services Act.
What's a “record”? Section 55(1) of the inium Act, 1998 (the “Old Act“) required a inium corporation in Ontario to keep “adequate” records and provided a partial, non-exhaustive list of which documents and things are “records”.
Section 58 (2) of the Act provides: “The rules shall be reasonable and consistent with this Act, the declaration and the bylaws.” Rules made by a condo corporation board of directors take effect 30 days after notice of them is given to the unit owners unless the unit owners require a meeting of owners which can amend ...
Amending the Declaration Declarations can only be amended at an owners' meeting. Boards must call the meeting through a notice that includes the proposed amendment and at least 80 or 90 per cent of the units must consent to the change.
As you can see, while a condo board cannot directly evict a unit owner, it can initiate legal proceedings that may result in the forced sale of the unit if the owner fails to comply with the inium's governing documents. More insightful tips on condo living: Condo Maintenance Fees: Things to Know.
