The applicant condominium corporation applied to the Condominium Authority Tribunal regarding unreasonable noise from a unit occupied by the respondents.

The tenants moved out before the hearing concluded, leaving costs and compensation as the only remaining issues.

The Tribunal found that the unit owner had received proper notice and that the noise, particularly late at night, was objectively unreasonable.

The Tribunal ordered the unit owner to pay $1,331.70 in pre-application compensation, $150 for filing fees, and $5,661 in legal costs on a partial indemnity basis due to his failure to engage early in the process.

The applicant, a condominium unit owner, filed a case with the Condominium Authority Tribunal alleging that the respondent condominium corporation failed to provide requested records and that some provided records were inadequate.

The requested records included water bills, budgets, meeting minutes, and records of owners and leased units.

The Tribunal found that the respondent had provided all requested records and that the records were adequate under the Condominium Act, 1998.

The Tribunal concluded there was no refusal without a reasonable excuse and dismissed the application without costs.

The applicant filed an application with the Condominium Authority Tribunal.

After the case proceeded to Stage 3, the applicant informed the Tribunal that they wished to withdraw their case.

The Tribunal accepted the withdrawal and ordered the case closed pursuant to Rule 43.1 of the CAT's Rules of Practice.

The applicant condominium corporation brought an application against the unit owners and the occupant for breaching the corporation's governing documents regarding noise and parking.

The occupant repeatedly parked in visitor parking and fire lanes, and created unreasonable noise.

The unit owners failed to ensure the occupant's compliance and did not respond to the corporation's communications.

The Condominium Authority Tribunal found that the unit owners and the occupant breached the governing documents.

The Tribunal ordered them to comply and ordered the unit owners to pay compensation for enforcement costs and legal costs.

The applicant condominium corporation sought compliance orders and costs against a unit owner and her tenant granddaughter regarding noise, garbage, and pet-related nuisances.

The Tribunal found that while the tenant was likely a victim of controlling individuals who caused the noise, the respondents were still responsible for the ongoing garbage and pet rule breaches.

The Tribunal ordered compliance with the rules but declined to award administrative fees and only awarded partial indemnity for legal costs, noting that the condominium corporation improperly attempted to enforce compliance costs via lien without a prior order.
