Records

Step 3. Prepare to file a case

You should prepare to file a case with the Condominium Authority Tribunal by making notes or copies of your interaction with your condo corporation, as it all may come in handy during your case.

What information to gather

Here’s what information you should compile:

Who you spoke to

Date and time of interactions

Issues you informed them about

Amount of time you provided them to address the issue

Rationale they provided you with for refusing to give you records

Amounts you are being asked to pay per item


Do I need a lawyer to file a case with the CAT?

Most courts and tribunals in Canada leave it up to you to decide if you want legal representation or want to save costs by representing yourself. Self-representation can work depending on how complicated your case is as well as a number of other factors. Make sure to read our Self-Represented Parties guide to understand if this is right for you.

Condo owners who don’t represent themselves can choose to be represented by a lawyer, paralegal, or other person listed in this by-law.

Condo corporations must be represented by one of their board directors, condo managers, lawyers or a paralegal.
