Condominium Law

Forty years ago condominiums were considered a novel alternative to home ownership. Today, condominiums now account for one-in-three of all new homes built in Ontario. As pressure increases to use land more intensively, ‘traditional’ detached homeowners may soon find themselves the novelty, rather than the norm.

As their numbers increase, condominiums are under growing scrutiny to perform to their optimum. To realize this goal, condominiums increasingly turn to a collection of specialized professionals including; property managers, engineers, accountants, auditors, lenders, and lawyers. Unfortunately, given the recent and dramatic overhaul to Ontario’s condominium legislation and regulations, providing tangible and effective legal advice to condominiums is no longer the purview of the generalist lawyer.

At SmithValeriote Law Firm LLP, we are proud to offer specialized and competitive legal services to developers, condominium corporations and property managers throughout the GTA and Ontario’s Golden Horseshoe. From our offices, uniquely located in the City of Guelph, we are geographically situated to offer a range of legal services to condominium corporations, at competitive rates.

SmithValeriote has a proven record of providing leading legal services in the development of condominiums. From residential high-rise to commercial single story applications, our lawyers have been involved in many significant condominium plans and developments.

SmithValeriote also prides itself in its representation of over 150 condominium corporations throughout Ontario. Through memberships in the Canadian Condominium Institute (‘CCI’) Golden Horseshoe and Toronto Chapters, via regular contributions to articles and seminars, and through hosting “Legally Speaking - Condo. Law” on Rogers Community Television, we are proud to provide a comprehensive range of legal needs to condominium corporations. To highlight, such services include:
(a) Drafting declarations, disclosure statements and by-laws;
(b) Drafting and registering of bulk indemnity agreements;
(c) Creating standard unit by-laws;
(d) All enforcement procedures, including; demand letters, mediation/arbitration proceedings and Superior Court applications;
(e) Declaratory, by-law or rule amendments or interpretation;
(f) Lien notification and registration;
(g) Shared facility agreements, and;
(h) Chairing annual or special general meetings, and owner’s ‘information meetings’.
Finally, our firm prides itself on keeping abreast of changes to condominium law and regulations. As such, upon request, our lawyers are happy to meeting with developers & property managers on a quarterly basis, to discuss in an informal setting how such changes may impact the condominium field, and their involvement in it. Naturally, these sessions are with our firm’s compliments, which we invite you to consider.
