During the period of occupancy by the tenant, the off-site owner shall have no right of use of any part of the common elements including all Recreational Facilities as may be governed by a provision contained in the Corporation’s by-laws.
  • OWNER LIABLE: Any owner leasing a suite to a tenant or tenants shall not be relieved thereby from any of the owner’s obligations with respect to the suite. All owners shall be responsible for any damage or additional maintenance to the common elements and assets of the Corporation caused by their tenant or their guests and will be assessed and charged therefore.
  • COMMON EXPENSE: No tenant shall be liable for the payment of common expenses unless notified by the Corporation that the owner is in default of payment of common expenses, in which case the tenant shall deduct from the rent otherwise payable to the owner, the owner(s) share of the common expenses and shall pay that amount to the Corporation, which amount shall be deemed to constitute payment toward rent under the lease, and the tenant shall not, by reason only of such payment to the Corporation, be in default of the tenant(s) obligation under the lease, as required by s. 87 of the Act. The tenant shall not be subject to any recourse by the suite owner pursuant to the Tenant Protection Act.
  • NOTIFICATION: The owner shall deliver to the tenant a copy of the declaration, by-laws and rules of the Corporation at the time of entering into a lease of a suite. The owner shall forthwith notify the Corporation that the unit has been leased or that a lease of the suite has been terminated or renewed. The owner shall provide the Corporation with the tenant(s) name and owner(s) address, together with a copy of the lease of the suite or a summary of the lease on the prescribed form, as required by s. 83 of the Act, so that the appropriate information can be inserted into the Corporation’s Lease Record. The owner shall automatically and promptly supply the documents without charge and without any request for same by the Corporation.

In the event the owner fails to provide such documents to the Property Manager prior to the commencement date of the tenancy, any person or persons intending to reside in the owner’s suite shall be deemed to be a trespasser.

  • TENANCY AGREEMENT: As a non-binding guideline only, the Corporation suggests, without liability, that a standard, current form of condominium tenancy agreement (such as the form copyrighted by the Building Industry Land Development Association or any other carefully-drafted form of condominium lease) under the Residential Tenancies Act, as amended or applicable from time to time, be used as the minimum standard in leasing a suite, subject to such amendments as the owner and tenant may deem appropriate. Only a single-family residential use of the unit is permitted, subject to compliance with the Corporation’s occupancy standard, and transient leases are prohibited, as set out in Article B 05.
  • TENANTS INSURANCE: Tenants are strongly advised to obtain a tenant(s) condominium insurance policy from their insurance agent which covers personal possessions including any personal effects stored in any storage area or locker, in addition to any public liability, property damage and other forms of tenant protection insurance (since a tenant and other Residents are not protected by any of such coverage’s as may be contained in the Corporation’s insurance policies).
  • INSPECTIONS: Prior to the commencement date of the tenancy, the owner and tenant shall, if requested, provide access to the suite to the Corporation’s Representative for the express purpose of inspecting the suite, including air conditioning/heating units, clothes dryer lint ducts, smoke detectors, CO2 detectors, fire alarms, electrical equipment, wires, plumbing hoses and fixtures, window latches and any other safety devices designated by the Board, to ensure that the suite has been maintained in a good state of repair in accordance with the Act, declaration, by-laws, these Rules, Building Code and Fire Code requirements, to comply with any duty, and to ensure that no unauthorized alterations, additions, improvements or partitions have been made to the suite or any exclusive use or other common elements. The owner shall forthwith comply with any notice from the Corporation requiring the owner to carry out any maintenance or repairs to the unit prior to the commencement of the tenancy. Neither the Corporation nor the Corporation’s Representative shall be obligated to undertake any such inspection, nor shall they bear any liability with respect to any such inspection or failure to conduct any such inspection.
  • MOVING: All tenants are required to comply with the Corporation’s Moving and Service Elevator Rules identified in section “E” hereof.
  • TERMINATION OF LEASE: In the event a tenant breaches a provision set out in the Act or the Corporation’s declaration, by-laws or rules, the Corporation may make an application to the Superior Court of Justice under s. 134 of the Act for a compliance order, damages and costs and requesting an order terminating a lease upon contravention thereof.
