| Condominium owners have right to know who insures their building Q: Our property management company refuses to tell the owners who the building insurer is. A: The floor slab, in compliance with the declaration for your condominium, is part of the common elements and repairs are the obligation of the corporation. Q: Our highrise condo corporation employs a full-time superintendent, and his wife as a daily part-time cleaner. A mediator does not render a decision but acts as a facilitator to assist the parties in resolving the disagreement. Q: Is it correct that an owner who believes that his corporation isn't meeting its obligations may apply for a court order requiring compliance by the corporation? Can an owner proceed without a lawyer? A: A disagreement between a corporation and an owner with regards to the Condominium Act may be the subject of a court application by either of them for a compliance order. The arbitrator will render a binding decision which may include an order as to the parties' responsibility for the payment of costs. They receive good salaries and an insurance package. In fact, status certificates supplied by the corporation for a proposed sale of a unit must be accompanied by certificates or memoranda of all of the corporation's insurance policies. An owner may proceed to mediation and arbitration or make a court application without engaging a lawyer. Do we have got the right to obtain a copy of his employment agreement and job description? A: You are entitled under the Condominium Act to examine and receive a copy of the superintendent's employment agreement but not any other record in regards to the superintendent. Q: A schedule to our declaration provides that a horizontal boundary of our townhouses is the upper surface of the unfinished concrete basement floor slab. Many owners have noted that they seldom see the superintendent doing any work. Condominium owners have right to know who insures their building |
