The applicant condominium owner and the respondent condominium corporation reached a settlement during Stage 3 of the Condominium Authority Tribunal's online dispute resolution process.

The parties agreed to a consent order requiring the corporation to provide the owner with specific board meeting minutes and monthly financial statements.

The corporation was also ordered to pay $250 as reimbursement for the owner's expenses.

The applicant condominium corporation filed an application against a unit owner and an unidentified occupant for breaching the corporation's non-smoking and quiet enjoyment rules.

The respondents failed to participate in the hearing, which proceeded as a default proceeding.

The Tribunal found that the respondents violated the rules by smoking tobacco and marijuana in the unit and common elements, creating a nuisance odour.

The Tribunal ordered the respondents to cease smoking and awarded the applicant $3,500 in legal costs, $864.13 in pre-litigation indemnification, and $150 in tribunal fees.

The applicant condominium corporation brought a default proceeding against the respondent owner for parking three motorcycles in a single parking spot, in violation of the corporation's declaration.

Despite multiple notices and legal letters, the respondent failed to comply and did not participate in the Tribunal hearing.

The Tribunal found the respondent in breach of the declaration and ordered him to cease parking more than one motor vehicle in any of his parking spots.

The respondent was also ordered to pay $2,150 in costs on a partial indemnity basis.

The applicant, a condominium unit owner, brought an application against the condominium corporation alleging unreasonable noise from heat pumps in the units above and below hers.

The Tribunal found that the noise constituted a nuisance and that the corporation failed to take reasonable steps to investigate and enforce compliance with the condominium's rules.

The Tribunal ordered the corporation to reimburse the applicant for the cost of her acoustical engineering reports and awarded costs.

The applicant condominium owner brought a claim against the condominium corporation, the landlord of the unit above, and the tenant of that unit, alleging an ongoing noise nuisance.

The condominium corporation settled with the applicant, agreeing to pay costs and tribunal fees.

The tribunal proceeded against the landlord and tenant, finding that the tenant's frequent late-night noise constituted an unreasonable nuisance under section 117(2) of the Condominium Act, 1998.

The tribunal also found the landlord failed to take reasonable steps to ensure the tenant's compliance.

However, because the tenant had vacated the unit and the applicant provided no evidence of financial damages, no compensation or further costs were ordered against the landlord or tenant.

The applicant, a unit owner, applied to the Condominium Authority Tribunal seeking enforcement of the condominium corporation's pet rules regarding a boulevard maintained by the corporation.

The respondent corporation argued the Tribunal lacked jurisdiction because the boulevard was owned by the City of Toronto, not the corporation.

The Tribunal agreed, finding that the boulevard did not form part of the condominium property or assets, and therefore the corporation's rules could not apply to it under section 58 of the Condominium Act, 1998.

The application was dismissed with no costs awarded.

The applicant condominium corporation filed an application against the respondent unit owner for breaching governing documents relating to parking, storage, noise, and smoking.

The respondent failed to participate in the proceeding.

The Tribunal found the respondent in violation of the governing documents based on the applicant's uncontested evidence.

The Tribunal ordered the respondent to comply with the rules and pay indemnification costs, Tribunal fees, and partial indemnity legal costs.

The respondent condominium corporation brought a motion to dismiss the applicant owner's application for lack of jurisdiction.

The applicant disputed a chargeback for a lawyer's letter demanding he cease harassing a security guard and causing noise disturbances.

The Tribunal dismissed the motion, finding that the dispute involved the enforcement of a noise nuisance rule, which falls within the Tribunal's jurisdiction under O. Reg. 179/17, along with related indemnification provisions.

The applicant, a condominium unit owner, requested noise complaint incident reports from the respondent condominium corporation.

The respondent failed to respond to the request or participate in the early stages of the tribunal process, citing a change in management.

The respondent eventually provided the records at the hearing.

The tribunal found the respondent's failure to respond constituted a refusal without reasonable excuse and ordered the respondent to pay a $500 penalty and $150 in tribunal costs.

The applicant missed the 30-day deadline to pay the fee and request adjudication for a dispute regarding accessible parking at a condominium.

The applicant requested an extension of time, explaining a misunderstanding of the online payment system.

Applying the Frey factors, the Tribunal found the applicant had a bona fide intention to proceed, the delay was short, and there was no prejudice to the respondent.

The Tribunal granted the extension of time.

The self-represented applicant sought an extension of time to move a condominium records dispute to Stage 3 adjudication after missing the 30-day deadline following mediation.

The Tribunal applied the Frey factors and found that while the delay was minor, granting the extension would significantly prejudice the respondent, who had already produced the requested records on the understanding that the matter was settled.

Furthermore, the remaining issues lacked merit as the requested records were either produced or did not exist.

The motion for an extension of time was dismissed and the case was closed.

The applicants sought records from the respondent condominium corporation regarding kitchen stack cleaning and plumbing quotes.

The parties resolved the dispute during the Condominium Authority Tribunal's Stage 2 mediation process.

The tribunal issued a consent order requiring the respondent to provide the requested documents, confirm the non-existence of certain procedures, and reimburse the $75 tribunal application fee.

The application was subsequently withdrawn and the file closed.
