Decisions from the Courts: The Impact on Your Condominium Corporation

An owner of a unit in a commercial condominium corporation failed to pay his common expenses for over six years. Despite this, no certificate of lien was ever registered. In an effort to collect what had then become a very substantial amount of arrears, the condominium corporation brought an application for a compliance order under s. 134(5) of the Condominium Act asking that the owner pay all arrears of common expenses. The court declared that the owner was in breach of its obligation to contribute to the common expenses as set out in s. 84 of the Act. The court then ordered that the owner comply with its duties and obligations under the Act. In doing so, the owner was obligated to pay almost $25,000 in damages as a result of the noncompliance, the corporation’s costs of almost $14,000 incurred in obtaining the order. In addition, the total of the damages and costs awarded were ordered to be added to the common expenses for the unit.

The Impact on Your Condominium Corporation – Part I

This was an appeal by an insurance company of an order obtained by the condominium corporation, which order had entitled the corporation to a substantial payout under its insurance policy. The corporation had a fire protection system, which was used to direct water through the sprinkler and fire hose systems in the building, and which had been improperly designed and/or installed. As a result of this improper design and/or installation, one of the standpipes that made up part of the system failed, causing a flood that resulted in an estimated $20 million in damage to the building. The corporation subsequently replaced the fire protection system at a cost of approximately $600,000.

Decisions that Impact Your Condominium Corporation – Part I

This was a motion by the plaintiff Royal Bank of Canada for summary judgment against the defendants, Mr. and Ms. Khan. The Khans owned a condominium unit, and had ceased paying their common expenses due to dissatisfaction with repair work carried out by the corporation. As a result, the condominium corporation had registered a lien on the title to the unit. Since a condominium lien, when registered, has priority over most other encumbrances on a unit (including mortgages), a mortgagee will often pay the arrears in order to discharge the lien. In this case, the bank, which held a mortgage on the unit, chose to do so.

This was the latest, to the date of the decision, in a long series of reported decisions relating to this condominium corporation. The corporation, which was comprised of 897 residential units, had been governed by a court-appointed administrator since 2006 . In a referendum ordered by the court in December 2011 , an “overwhelming majority” of the unit owners voted that the court-appointed administration should end and the governance of the corporation should transition to an elected board of directors.

The Impact on Your Condominium Corporation – Part II

This was an appeal by a couple who owned a condominium unit from an order obtained on an application by the condominium corporation, as previously reported in this space in the winter 2009 edition of CM Magazine. The corporation’s declaration contained a provision that each unit was only to be used as a “one family residence”, and defined “family” as “a social unit consisting of parents and their children, whether natural or adopted, and includ[ing] other relatives if living with the primary group”. The respondent unit owners had been operating their unit as a rooming house, which, the condominium corporation alleged, was a breach of the declaration. The judge hearing the application agreed, holding that the respondents had breached the declaration, and ordering them to comply with same.

This was a complaint brought before the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal by Mr. Harton, who was the owner of a strata unit in the respondent strata corporation, based on what he alleged to be discrimination against him by the respondent as a result of his physical disability. Mr. Harton’s unit in Vancouver faced west and overlooked the water. As a result of this, Mr. Harton alleged that his unit was subjected to high levels of direct and reflected radiation. He further alleged that he was at an unusual risk of developing skin cancer, and that he had been previously treated to have skin cancer removed. According to Mr. Harton, his doctor had advised him to minimize his exposure to the sun.

The applicant, Ms . McMillan, owned a condominium unit in a 32 -unit condominium corporation. The applicant’s unit, like the other units, was a freestanding one-storey house sitting on an individual parcel of land. The house itself was considered the unit, and the area extending from the front and rear entrances to the boundaries of the parcel of land was the exclusive use common element appurtenant to the unit.

Ontario Superior Court of Justice – Gledhill v. Better Living Homes, Inc.

For the second time in six months, the Plaintiff seeks to set aside a stay of proceedings in this action. On May 1, 2014, Corbett J. issued an order staying the proceedings and ordered the Plaintiff to police defendants $500 in costs. His endorsement reads, in its operative part. It appears (although it is not certain) that this action is simply a repetition of the claims in the small claims court action. However, I decline to exercise my discretion to dismiss this proceeding outright, without the benefit of argument and a detailed analysis of the claims in this proceeding and the small claims court proceeding. Rather, I order this proceeding stayed until

Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Divisional Court) – Nickoladze v. Bloor Street Investments/Advent Property Management

Mr. Nicoladze, the tenant, appeals from two orders of the Landlord and Tenant Board. The first order dismissed the tenant’s complaint that the respondent landlord had illegally entered his rental unit and, once there, had invaded his privacy by taking pictures of the interior of the unit. The second order dismissed the tenant’s request for a review of the first order.

Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Divisional Court) – Riddell v. Eldridge

Matthew Riddell (the “Appellant”) appeals from the final order of the Landlord and Tenant Board (the “Board”) dated April 16, 2014 terminating the Appellant’s tenancy effective April 30, 2014 on the basis he had substantially interfered with the reasonable enjoyment or lawful right, privilege or interest of the landlord, Dale Eldridge (the “Respondent”). For the reasons that follow, I dismiss the appeal. In my view, the Board did not err in granting the Respondent’s application to terminate the Appellant’s tenancy. The Board’s findings that the Respondent had suffered and was continuing to suffer a severe allergic reaction caused or contributed to by the Appellant’s dog was more than supported by the evidence and sufficient to support a termination pursuant to s. 76(1)(b) of the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, S.O. 2006, c. 17 (the “Act”).

This is a motion to vary or set aside the order of Pattillo J., dated June 21, 2016, dismissing the Tenant’s appeal as devoid of merit and vacating the stay of the eviction order. At the conclusion of the motion, we dismissed the motion with reasons to follow. These are our reasons. The test to be applied on such as a motion is set out in Marsden v. Ontario (Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services), 2012 ONSC 6118 (Ont. Div. Ct.) — a panel should only intervene to vary or set aside the order of a single judge if the single judge made an error of law or a palpable and overriding error of fact.

Ontario Superior Court of Justice – Couture v. Toronto Standard Condominium Corp. No. 2187

In condominium living, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. However, the power of the collective is not absolute. Power must be exercised within the bounds of the condominium’s established jurisdiction and with due respect to the legal rights and reasonable expectations of the few or the one. As with most efforts to balance competing rights, the fact that people are involved complicates matters. It is well understood that in complicated moments people sometimes see exactly what they wish to see. Moreover, some find other’s illogic and foolish emotions an irritant.

The Management Agreement between the parties specifically provides that the Condo’s property will be returned to the Condo Corp. upon termination of the Property Management Corp. Having heard argument from both sides, an order shall go pursuant to paragraph 1 (a) + (b) of the Notice of Motion of the Plaintiff dated September 28, 2011.

Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Divisional Court) – D’Amico v. Hitti

My recent experience sitting as a single judge of this Court to hear motions has convinced me that there is a growing practice by unscrupulous residential tenants to manipulate the law improperly, and often dishonestly, to enable them to remain in their rented premises for long periods of time without having to pay rent to their landlords. It is practice that imposes an unfair hardship on landlords and reflects badly on the civil justice system in Ontario. It calls for the Government, the Landlord and Tenant Board and this Court to respond.

The appellant, Mr. Gledhill, is a former tenant of a rental unit municipally described as unit 702, 540 Sherbourne St, Toronto. Mr. Gledhill was arrested by the police on October 7, 2010. He was then released on bail on a recognizance which required him to stay away from 540 Sherbourne St. The criminal proceedings were eventually stayed. On December 13, 2010 the Landlord and Tenant Board made an order terminating Mr. Gledhill’s tenancy at 540 Sherbourne St. The presiding Member was aware of the fact that Mr. Gledhill could not enter the premises at 540 Sherbourne St due to the terms of his recognizance of bail. This order was never appealed.

Friginette appeared with counsel, a settlement was negotiated and ON CONSENT the request for review was denied and the eviction order was confirmed.

This is an appeal from an order of the Divisional Court that affirmed the decision of the Landlord and Tenant Board allowing the tenant’s landlord to evict him on the ground the landlord required the premises for his own residential occupation. The main issue in this appeal is whether s. 48 of the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, S.O. 2006, c. 17, permits a sole shareholder of a corporation as “landlord” to evict a tenant of a residential unit owned by that corporation, if the shareholder requires possession for personal occupancy.

In return, the respondent seeks an order dismissing the appeal for delay.

She alleges that she and her mother were defrauded of the home in the process of re-mortgaging the property. The mortgage broker was the brother of the respondent’s boyfriend.
