Tanel v. York Condominium Corporation No. 247

Corporation:

​

Date:

2025-03-06

Summary:

A unit owner in a condominium in Ontario was found to be in violation of the corporation's rules by causing excessive noise and nuisance to other residents. Despite multiple warnings, the owner continued the disruptive behavior, leading to the Condominium Authority Tribunal (CAT) imposing fines and ordering the owner to stop causing noise and nuisance.

Under:

Noise, Nuisance, Rule Enforcement

Verdict:

The CAT ruled in favor of the condo corporation, ordering the unit owner to comply with the rules and cease causing noise and nuisance. This case demonstrates that the condo corporation has the authority to enforce its rules and that persistent non-compliance can lead to legal consequences.

Takeaways:

- Unit owners must adhere to the rules set by the condo corporation, including those regarding noise and nuisance.
- Persistent violation of these rules, despite warnings, can result in fines and enforcement orders from the CAT.
- The CAT can enforce compliance with the condo corporation's rules on behalf of other unit owners who are affected by the disruptive behavior.

Recommendations: 

- Condo boards should ensure that all unit owners are aware of the rules and the consequences of non-compliance.
- They should also promptly address any rule violations to prevent ongoing disruption to other residents.
- In cases of persistent non-compliance, condo boards should consider seeking legal recourse through the CAT.
