The applicant, Esther Benmergui, sought interim relief against York Region Standard Condominium Corporation No. 1510 after experiencing four sewage back-ups in her newly purchased condominium unit.
The court found that the respondent failed to act with sufficient urgency to address the dangerous and uninhabitable condition of the unit, breaching its obligations under the Condominium Act, 1998.
The court ordered the respondent to pay for the applicant’s comparable alternate accommodation until repairs are completed and awarded partial indemnity costs.
