Condominium Bylaws

Background

A Condominium Bylaws document is a legally-binding document governing the relationships between unit owners, as well as the rights and responsibilities of each unit holder in the condominium.

Much importance is attributed to the Bylaws in governing unit owner relations. So much so, that the Land Act, 5729-1969 (hereinafter: “the Land Act“) requires that every condominium operate under the provisions of its Bylaws. Condominium unit owners may agree on a set of Bylaws, which may then be filed with the condominium registry. The Bylaws apply to all unit owners until they are modified. In the absence of agreed-upon Bylaws, or in cases where the Bylaws do not address certain issues specified in the Land Act, the provisions of the Common Bylaws, outlined in the Supplement to the Land Act, apply.
