REASONS FOR DECISION
A. INTRODUCTION
1John Traicheff (the "Applicant") is the owner of a unit of York Condominium Corporation No. 43 ("YCC 43" or the "Respondent"). This decision involves two requests for records that the Applicant submitted to YCC 43.
2The Applicant claims that YCC 43 refused to provide him with records that he is entitled to without a reasonable excuse and that a penalty is warranted. Also, the Applicant claims that some of the records provided to him were not adequate and fees were inappropriately charged for records.
3The Respondent submits that they were delayed in providing some records but with reasonable excuse. Also, they deny that the records provided were inadequate and state the fees were appropriately charged.
4The parties provided voluminous evidence and submissions, and while I have read and considered them all, I will only refer 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 not refuse to provide some records without reasonable excuse and that some of the records were inadequate as per s. 55 of the Condominium Act, 1998 (the "Act").
6Given this, the Respondent shall pay the Applicant $200 in costs.
