Are you looking to resolve a condo-related issue in your community that is not within the Condominium Authority Tribunal’s jurisdiction? It’s important to understand what tools you have at your disposal. Depending on what your issue is, you have the following options:

• Mandatory mediation or arbitration
• Voluntary mediation or arbitration
• The Superior Court of Justice

Some issues must go through mandatory mediation, as outlined in the Condo Act. They are issues about: 

• Shared facilities agreements
• First-year budgets
• Provisions in the governing documents that fall outside of the CAT’s jurisdiction
• Changes to common elements by owners
• Electric vehicle charging system installations
