Opinion: More and more Ontarians are living in condos, and the trend to more dense urban living is projected to continue. Some of these buildings are the size of small towns, housing upwards of 2,000 people. They need better regulation.
This week, the Ontario Legislature’s public accounts committee released a stern report calling for better consumer protections for Ontario’s 1.3 million condo residents.
Our offices receive many calls from furious, distressed, and financially strapped condo dwellers who are shocked to learn there’s no effective regulator, tribunal, or government agency that can step in and help fix their problem. The report recommends expanding the Condo Authority Tribunal, so residents can have their disputes heard and resolved in a quick, affordable, and fair manner, without going to court. No one should have to spend $30,000 in legal fees just to get their condo board to hold a fair election or compel a property manager to fix a broken elevator.
