Condo Tribunal expands its jurisdiction to include disputes over nuisances

The long awaited changes to section 117 of the Condo Act (dealing with dangerous activities and nuisance) will finally be enacted on January 1, 2022! On that same date, the Condo Authority Tribunal will also expand its jurisdiction to deal with complaints related to various nuisances.  In this post, we explore what this means for condos.

As of January 2022, section 117 of the Condo Act will be amended to expressly prohibit activities or conditions existing in units or common elements which are likely to damage the property or to cause an injury or an illness to an individual.
