Termination of Agreements

Under the Condominium Property Act, condo corporations are allowed to terminate management agreements and other agreements entered into by the developer. The following page has more information on how this works. If you have any concerns as a board over ending any agreements entered into by the developer, get legal advice.

Developer’s management agreement
After the first board election, a condo corporation can terminate a management agreement entered into by the developer (also known as a “developer’s management agreement”) – as long as one year has passed from the day that it was entered into. The agreement may allow for an earlier termination date. The corporation must give 60 days’ written notice (or any shorter notice if allowed in the agreement).

Other agreements
A condo corporation may terminate an agreement entered into by the developer within 12 months of the first board election. The corporation must give at least 60 days written notice (or any shorter notice allowed if in the agreement). There are certain agreements that the condo corporation cannot terminate such as:

  • Easements
  • Restrictive covenants
  • Exclusive possession agreements made under a bylaw
  • Mutual use agreements
  • Agreements for the provision of electricity or natural gas service for a term of less than 5 years and telecommunication services
  • Agreements for alternative or renewable energy systems

Notice of Change of Directors

June 23, 2016 by CPLEAadmin

This is a document that the condominium corporation must register at the  Land Titles Office after a condo board membership change.  The condominium corporation must register it within 30 days after the AGM. Also,  if a change occurs between elections (for example, a board member vacancy or removal), the condominium corporation must promptly file it at the Land Titles Office.

Operating Account

A corporation must establish and maintain an operating account using funds from contributions or special levies. The account provides sufficient funds for the control, management and administration of the corporation’s:

  • real and personal property
  • common property and
  • managed property

It can also be used for the payment of any other corporation obligation that is not required to be paid out of the reserve fund.

Annual Report

A condominium corporation must prepare an annual report every fiscal year and distribute the report to owners and mortgagees at least 14 days before the annual general meeting (AGM).

The annual report must include the following information:

  • the amount of the reserve fund on the last day of the previous fiscal year
  • all payments made into and out of the reserve fund for that year
  • a list of the depreciating property repaired or replaced during the fiscal year. Plus, the cost to repair or replace the property
  • the reserve fund projected for the current fiscal year
