Land Acquisition

The first and foremost step in the development of a condominium is acquiring the land. While evaluating land options the developer would like to assess numerous situations that will play a major role in ascertaining, whether to acquire the lot and what should be done with it. This typically includes town planning, municipal planning conditions, geographic characteristics, and proximity to other locations such as schools, railways, airports, etc.

If there are existing buildings on the land that the developer plans to include in the project, a thorough evaluation by the engineer will prove to be very useful to calculate the life span and future repairs and replacement costs.

The Ontario Courts in a recent decision, Caplan v Atas, 2021 ONSC 670, has made it clear that they will not tolerate vexatiously and harassing behaviors on social media, thereby providing condominium directors and property managers a legal system to fight cyber attacks by unit owners or occupants.

In this case, Ms. Atas, the defendant had engaged in a vile campaign of cyberstalking against the plaintiffs in the actions laid against her. Even after spending 74 days in jail for contempt of court, Ms. Atas did not stop publishing defamatory statements about the plaintiffs which were not only defaming but also abusive.

Introduction

The O. Reg. 645/21 (“Amending Regulation”) amending O. Reg. 364/20 does not categorically exclude condominium corporations relating to proof of Covid-19 vaccination.

The term Patron (not expressly defined in the Amending Regulation) generally refers to a customer. Patrons are required to show proof of vaccination prior to entering certain amenities that may exist within a condominium corporation which may include banquet halls/party room, conference/convention center, gym, billiards room, etc. Given that patron refers to a customer, condominiums owners and residents may not be counted as patrons. Therefore, the question which may arise is whether condominium corporations can implement their vaccine policies.
