Background: The case "Sidhu v. Peel Condominium Corporation No. 426" involves a dispute related to access to records in a condominium property. The applicant sought various records from the condominium corporation but claimed that the corporation had not adequately responded to his requests. He also alleged that the corporation had taken retaliatory actions against him. The case was heard by the Condominium Authority Tribunal.

The applicant was entitled to receive certain requested records, subject to appropriate redactions. Some of these records had already been provided during the proceedings.
The tribunal found that the condominium corporation failed to keep proper minutes of its board meetings, which is a significant breach of the Condominium Act. It ordered the corporation to commence keeping minutes of all board meetings.
The tribunal ordered the corporation to create and provide an updated record of notices of leases it receives within 7 days of the decision, as required by the Act.
Current board members of the condominium corporation were ordered to take or retake mandatory director training within 30 days to better understand their statutory duties.
The corporation was ordered to pay Norman Sidhu $200 in Tribunal fees and a penalty of $3,000 for its failure to provide records in a timely manner and its neglect of board meeting minutes.
Additional Information: The tribunal clarified that general complaints about repairs, maintenance, harassment, and misconduct are typically outside the scope of its jurisdiction unless they are directly related to matters within its purview. The case highlights the importance of maintaining records as required by the Condominium Act and responding promptly to records requests. The tribunal's role is to address issues related to records and compliance with statutory standards and obligations within its jurisdiction.
