RULES PREAMBLE

Rules are passed by a resolution of the Board and must comply with the Act, the declaration and the by-laws. A rule must be ‘reasonable’ and must be for the safety and security of unit owners and the corporation’s assets. In this regard, a rule may be instituted to prevent some interference with the use of the common element, or to ensure the continued enjoyment of the common elements.

A Board may create or repeal a rule, however, if there has been an amendment to a rule, or a rule has been repealed, a board cannot pass a rule with the same purpose, within two years.

The board can also make, amend or repeal rules. However, rules cannot be about anything and everything.

Rules must be either:

be for the purpose of promoting the safety, security or welfare of the owners and of the property or assets of the corporation; or

they must be aimed at preventing unreasonable interference with the use and enjoyment of the common elements, the units or the assets of the corporation.

Typical rules may therefore be aimed at preventing nuisance or interference between owners. They may deal with noise, for instance. They may impose parking restrictions. Pet restrictions and smoking restrictions can be found in rules (not in by-laws).

These restrictions could also be found in the declaration, but they are far easier to adopt in the context of a rule.

Rules must also be reasonable and must be consistent with the Act, the declaration and the by-laws.

To pass, repeal or amend a rule, a board of directors needs to circulate the rule to the owners for a period of at least 30 days. The notice to owners must advise them that they have the right to requisition a meeting of the owners to submit the proposed rule to a vote of the owners. If no meeting is requisitioned within 30 days, the rule becomes enforceable. If a meeting is requisitioned, the rule becomes valid and enforceable unless at least 50% of the units participating at the meeting (in person or by proxy) approve it.

Each of the declaration, by-laws and rules have a different purpose and are amended pursuant to a different mechanism, requiring a different level of support by the owners. Each of them, however, are equally enforceable. Owners and occupants have an obligation to abide by the Act, the declaration, the by-laws and the rules. Similarly, owners are entitled to require that others comply by them. The Corporation must take all reasonable steps to ensure such compliance.

· RULES AND REGULATIONS -

· Address how the units and common elements are to be used by owners and residents. Rules are initially enacted by the builder or developer and later on by the board of the condo. Rules have to be reasonable and in accordance with the Act as well as the Human Rights Code of each province. Generally, a set of rules is drawn by a builder’s law firm and given to each new owner along with the declaration. In Ontario, rules have a common core but vary by type of condo, the facilities that exist, and may even differ between similar condos. It would be more functional if rules were universal from condo to condo. Rules basically exist, to promote the safety, security or welfare of owners and their property as well as the corporation’s assets. Rules also exist for the purpose of preventing unreasonable interference with residents’ use and enjoyment of their units and common elements. Rules and Regulations are helpful as they guide the behavior of residents. People then know what to expect.

13. Right of Entry -
Corporation Entry into a Townhouse (Unit) On giving reasonable notice to an owner/resident, the corporation or a person authorized by the corporation may, at any reasonable time, enter a unit of the owner. Resident in the corporation or a part of the common elements of which the owner has exclusive use to perform the objects and duties of the corporation or to exercise the powers of the corporation.
Without Prior Notice - This rule permits the corporation or person authorized by the corporation to enter the unit or part of the common elements of which the owner has exclusive use without prior notice to the owner in the event of an emergency or other event or circumstance.
i) This protection, is given to the corporation to carry out the duties given to it. From the responsibility to repair and maintain the common elements to the responsibility to protect other owners by making necessary repairs if a unit owner fails to make the repairs themselves.
ii) Management and the Board of Directors will act quickly and decisively to protect their property and that includes entering other units to stop water damage, remove mould or take action to prevent dangerous conditions from going unchecked. It is necessary for management to gain access to a unit to protect the interests of the corporation. In such cases the resident may or may not be permitting access. The resident may be present and allow access or may not be present; or, may be present by not allowing access.
In each case entry must be obtained in a reasonable time frame; otherwise, management will gain entry by a forced entry means:
a) Reasonable Time Is determined by the seriousness of the situation and the cooperation of the resident.
b) Forced Entry Is the act of breaking into a townhouse when it is necessary to effect required repairs or work are necessary for the benefit of the condominium corporation.
If the resident does not accommodate access within reasonable time the corporation management may force entry into the unit when and where required. A unit being the townhouse in which there is a concern and/or the townhouse in which the relative water control mechanism is located Each resident should leave a townhouse access key with a trusted neighbor to eliminate the potential for having to force entry in to their unit. Repairs for forced entry are for the account of the member. Advise management which neighbor has a key to your unit. Dependent on the emergency situation efforts will be made to obtain the key. Each resident should provide the corporation management with complete regular and complete emergency contact information. Dependent on the emergency situation efforts will be made to obtain the key. Each unit must allow for a sufficient accessible working area for the contractor to complete the required work.
For the member’s account:
i) All unit and unit improvement restoration costs.
ii) All additional costs incurred to clear a proper work area.
iii) All contactor’s additional costs due to obstructions to the work area.
13.1 The most common concern is the: In Unit Common Water Line & Unit Main Shut Off Within the basement ceiling across the width of the townhouse there is a main water supply line running from one end of the block to the other end. In the basement of one end unit is a mechanism controlling the flow of water along the entire block of townhouses. The end units having the block control mechanisms are units numbers: 10, 26, 27, 28, 51 60, 65, 67, 62
13.1.1 Within a townhouse it is occasionally necessary for the Condominium Corporation to work on the main water line and/or the individual townhouse main shut off tap/valve. Regardless in which townhouse the work must be completed the block control mechanism must be turned off. This turns off all the water in every townhouse within the affected block while work is being completed.
Neither the townhouse having the concern nor the affected block control end townhouse may cause unreasonable delays to having the work completed.
Usually lead time is available and within a reasonable time access to the work area and the block control mechanism can be negotiated. It is preferable that the residents or their representative be in the townhouses while corrective work is being completed.
13.1.2 Each unit must allow for sufficient accessible working area for the contractor to complete the required work:
Ceiling hand holes may allow for tap/valve access to turn on and off the unit’s water supply; BUT, a much larger area must be available for a contractor to work on the affected area; such as, replacing the main tap/valve – a contractor must be able to get to the area and work withany required tools.
THE CONTRACTOR WILL REMOVE AS MUCH ROOM CEILING, ETC. AS IS DETERMINED NECESSARY TO COMPLETE THE REQUIRED WORK.
Similarly if gas lines, electrical lines or other obstructions are in the way the corporation management may take whatever actions are necessary to provide the necessary work area.
