CCI AdminKeymasterTo give a proper answer would need to review bylaws and current coverage.
If this is a conventional condominium (and I suspect that it is), the Corporation is required to repair any insured property if the damage is due to an insured peril. Then, if the bylaws allow, they can collect the deductible back from the Unit Owner. This is the maximum amount an Owner can be held responsible for.
Section 47 (1) (a) of the Act places the responsibility to insure Units and Common Property on the Condominium Corporation.
Section 47 (6) indicates that any coverage placed by the Corporation is the first policy to respond and any coverage placed by the Owner of a Unit is deemed to be excess coverage.Please remember, the insurance policy is purchased by the Corporation for the protection of the members of the Corporation. As a Unit Owner is a member – and contributes to the insurance premium by way of their contributions – they are entitled to the protection of the policy.
Should a Corporation not want to put a claim through – and they are certainly entitled to that option – it does not alleviate them of the responsibility of repair.
Hope this is of some assistance.

Hub International.CCI AdminKeymasterHas any one had a Reserve Fund Study lately, and what have they been charging?
Thanks RodCCI AdminKeymasterWe send out news items regularly via our geniepad website, so 96% of our 100+ owners (and many renters) are very well informed that way. They can discuss matters on our fairly active message board as well, which gives us an idea of the kind of news items they might find helpful.
However, our lawyer recommended a town hall on one single very large and controversial project. We spent a lot of time preparing. We opened it with a thorough presentation of the facts and options (with Powerpoint, images, etc.). We stated our our intention to stay until every question had been asked and answered, and we did. And we announced what our follow-through would be.
We had our lawyer and property manager present, but it turned out they weren’t needed as we had our stuff down thoroughly. I agree with the idea of someplace to “park” other issues that may come up. Don’t be taken off topic for long. A town hall is a brilliant solution to a focused, specific problem. I would strongly counsel my board against an open town hall session as a standard means of communications….unless you have either a very small number of owners, or so much time and patience you’re looking for a way to burn it all up.CCI AdminKeymasterI recommend Mike Spilak at Kibro Enterprises. He was Knowledgeable and reasonably priced for our street lights.

Lorne B.CCI AdminKeymasterWe have a resident thinking of installing a walk in tub with a jet system. Just wondering if anyone has experience with these as far as are they noisy? Do they set up vibrations in the floor? etc.
CCI AdminKeymasterAre you asking from a construction standpoint?
CCI AdminKeymasterHi Lisa,
Perhaps this question should be posted as a new topic of discussion, if it hasn’t already been asked of course, in the GOVERNANCE FORUM. This FORUM contains Bylaw enforcement, policies, communication, owner/tenant/board issues, etc.
JasiraCCI AdminKeymasterHi Lisa,
From what I can see, click on the FORUM of interest, scroll to the bottom of the page passing all the topics already posted and it is there that you can fill out the form to post a new topic/question in a FORUM.
I haven’t posted yet as I am familiarizing myself at the moment but I think this is how you can. . .

LisaCCI AdminKeymasterHow do I post a question on the forum? I am not familiar with the new look of the forum
Lisa JohnstonCCI AdminKeymasterHi Rob,
The Board can setup a Corporate Account with a bank and provide the management company access. This way they will still be able to do all the bookkeeping and reports but the Condo Corporation would be the account holder.
This way if the management company changes you won’t have to deal with moving banks/accounts.
CCI AdminKeymasterTypically one could follow what’s layed out by the reserve fund study or sooner if there’s a number of issues with them. Keep in mind that they can last years past the recommendation and you may want to get a professional in to do an inspection report.
