Condo Records: To Fee or Not To Fee? That Is The Question.

In this blog post, the author discusses the issue of whether condo corporations should be charging fees for providing copies of records to unit owners. The author notes that while the Condominium Act, 1998 permits corporations to charge reasonable fees for record requests, some corporations may overcharge or not follow proper procedures. The post provides some guidance on how corporations can ensure they are charging reasonable fees and complying with their legal obligations. The author also suggests that charging fees for records may discourage owners from making legitimate requests and recommends that corporations consider alternatives such as making records available online.
