“The delay means status certificates remain governed by existing regulations — the expanded disclosures have not yet kicked in.”
Background: The Unproclaimed Amendments
Ontario’s Condominium Act, 1998 has been subject to staged amendments since the Protecting Condominium Owners Act, 2015. Many were proclaimed in phases, but changes governing shared facilities agreements, electronic voting, and status certificate content were never formally brought into force.
What Remains Unproclaimed
- Shared facilities agreements — updated rules governing cost-sharing arrangements.
- Electronic voting — formal statutory authority for electronic board elections.
- Status certificate disclosures — expanded disclosure requirements.
What This Means for Ontario Condo Buyers
- Status certificates remain governed by existing regulations.
- Shared facilities agreements may be complex and inconsistently disclosed.
- Meeting voting procedures are still operating under existing case-by-case approvals.
