Entering a Unit for Enforcement Purposes

In this article, the author discusses the ability of a condominium corporation to make entry to a unit for enforcement purposes, such as to confirm the presence of a pet or noise complaints. The author argues that section 19 of the Act allows a condominium corporation to make entry to a unit to inspect for compliance with the Act, declaration, by-laws, or rules. A recent court decision confirms that a condominium corporation has the right to make entry to a unit to inspect for compliance with the Act, declaration, by-laws, and rules, even for enforcement purposes. The court order requires the owner to cooperate with the condominium and provide at least 48 hours' notice before inspection.
