1Osama Hunaidi (the “Applicant”) is the owner of a unit of Carleton Condominium Corporation No. 75 (the “Respondent” or “CCC 75”). This decision involves three requests for records that the Applicant submitted to the Respondent.
2The Applicant claims that the Respondent has refused to provide him with records that he is entitled to without reasonable excuse and that a penalty is warranted.
3The Respondent submits that they were delayed in providing some records to the Applicant but with reasonable excuse.
4The parties provided voluminous evidence and submissions, and while I have read and considered them all, I will only refer only to those necessary to determine the questions before me.
5Based on the evidence before me and for the reasons set out below, I find that the Respondent did refuse to provide some records without reasonable excuse and delayed in providing records to the Applicant which amounts to a refusal without a reasonable excuse. I find that a penalty of $500 is appropriate in this case. I also award the Applicant costs in the amount of $200 for his Tribunal filing fees.
