Condo Boards
Each condominium corporation across the Province of Ontario is governed by an owner-elected board of directors. The board is responsible for ensuring that the corporation complies with all aspects of the Condominium Act, 1998. Board directors volunteer their time and expertise to manage the affairs of the corporation according to the corporation’s specific declaration, by-laws and rules. Some of their duties include overseeing major repairs of common elements, ensuring responsible financial management and communicating with unit owners.
There are specific qualifications that directors must have in order to run for and be elected to serve on a board. A list of director qualifications can be found at the Condominium Authority of Ontario (CAO) website.
For more information about the roles and responsibilities of a condominium’s board of directors visit the Condominium Authority of Ontario (CAO) website.
The business relationship between a board of directors and a condominium manager and management provider business should be professional and cordial. CMRAO licensees have an obligation to promote and protect the best interests of their client, the condominium corporation.
