As our readers know, we recently launched a podcast – Condopedia – as another initiative to provide even greater insight on the latest developments in condominium law in Ontario.

Our latest episode is another COVID-19 Q&A session that occurred on March 27, 2020. In that session, our lawyers answered questions on:

  1. Status certificates: Should there be a “blanket” statement included on them?
  1. Deliveries: What should the condominium do about deliveries?
  1. Quarantine and Self Isolation: Can a condominium police mandated self-isolation?
  1. Volunteers: What should condominiums do with volunteer initiatives during this time?
  1. Reporting and Communicating: Should a board notify residents if there is a positive case in the building?
  1. Maintenance and Repair: Should annual fire inspections be conducted during this time?
  1. Guests: should they be allowed in condo buildings?

We also answered specific questions such as:

  1. What should the protocol be should there be a fire emergency required during the Covid-19 situation?
