Grimes, Courrier v. Metropolitan Toronto Condominium Corporation No. 864
Corporation:
Date:
2024-11-21
Summary:
This case involves a dispute between a condominium owner and the condominium corporation, where the owner alleges that she is experiencing harassment, noise disturbance and security issues. The Condominium Authority Tribunal (CAT) ruled in favor of the condominium corporation, stating the owner's claims were not substantiated and the corporation had taken reasonable steps to address her concerns.
Under:
Noise, Harassment, Security
Verdict:
The CAT ruled in favor of the condominium corporation, as the owner failed to substantiate her claims of harassment, noise disturbance, and security issues. This decision matters because it sets a precedent that owners need to provide substantial evidence when making these types of allegations and corporations are expected to take reasonable steps to address such concerns.
Takeaways:
- It is important for condominium owners to provide substantial evidence when making allegations about harassment or noise disturbance.
- Condominium corporations are expected to take reasonable steps to address concerns of owners.
- The CAT is unlikely to rule in favor of an owner if the corporation can demonstrate they have taken reasonable steps to address the issue.
Recommendations:
- Condominium boards or managers should ensure they take prompt and reasonable steps to address any concerns raised by owners.
- They should keep documentation of the steps taken, as this can be used as evidence if a dispute escalates to the CAT.
- Boards and managers should encourage owners to provide substantial evidence when making allegations about harassment, noise disturbance, or security issues to ensure that the concerns can be properly addressed.
