Is a condominium unit owner liable to all costs incurred by the condominium corporation?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Carleton Condominium Corporation No. 32 v. Yakovlev, 2021 ONSC 5483 (CanLII):
Fourth, in considering the reasonable expectations of the respondents, I agree with and adopt the statement of Myers J. in MTCC No. 580 v. Mills, 2021 ONSC 3440, at para. 16: …s. 134(5) of the Condominium Act, 1998 makes the unit owner liable for all costs incurred by the condominium corporation unless I rule some of the costs to be unreasonably charged (and hence unlawful). So, if they are found to have committed wrongdoing, condominium unit owners should expect to be fully liable for all of the corporation’s costs as a matter of law.
