Corporation:

Date:

2025-05-08

Summary:

A resident complained about excessive noise disturbances caused by another tenant's dogs. The Condominium Authority Tribunal (CAT) examined the case and ruled in favor of the complainant, stating that the condominium corporation did not enforce its rules effectively to control the noise.

Under:

Noise, Rules and Regulations, Condominium Living

Verdict:

The CAT sided with the complainant because the condominium corporation had not adequately enforced its rules to control the noise caused by dogs. This matters as it emphasizes the importance of rule enforcement in condominiums to maintain a peaceful living environment.

Takeaways:

- Chronic noise disturbances can be a breach of the rules and regulations of a condominium.
- Disputes can be taken to the Condominium Authority Tribunal (CAT) if the condominium corporation does not address the issue adequately.

Recommendations: 

- Condominium boards or managers should enforce their rules and regulations effectively to maintain a peaceful living environment for all residents.
- They should take complaints about noise disturbances seriously and act promptly to address them.
- If issues persist, they should consider involving external parties such as the Condominium Authority Tribunal (CAT) to resolve the dispute.
