The Tribunal
The Condo Authority Tribunal provides quick and cost-effective dispute resolution if communities are unable to resolve their issues collaboratively. The Tribunal does this through its dedicated three stage resolution process.
The Condominium Authority Tribunal is Canada’s first online tribunal. It is dedicated to helping condo owners and corporations resolve disputes conveniently, quickly and affordably. The Tribunal can help you resolve disputes about condo records, noise, odours, light, vibration, smoke, vapour, pets, animals, vehicles, parking and more. See our jurisdiction.
The Condo Act specifies that Condominium Authority Tribunal can resolve issues relating to records, unreasonable nuisances, governing documents and compliance with settlement agreements made in previous Tribunal cases. The Tribunal cannot deal with issues that are likely to cause damage to the condo or cause injury or illness to a person. The CAT also cannot accept cases about agreements between owners and condo corporations to install electric vehicle charging stations or modify common elements.
The CAT’s jurisdiction is set out under Ontario Regulation 179/17 of the Condo Act. The Government of Ontario sets the Tribunal’s jurisdiction and only they make changes.
