The job of condominium manager requires that they interact with tenants and owners during the course of a day. Tenants, and sometimes owners, are not always aware that condominium managers provide their services to the corporation under direction of the Board of Directors.
- The Board of Directors has specific obligations to owners in accordance with the Condo Act which do not apply to tenants.
- Tenants should understand that their relationship with the manager and corporation is different from that of property owners who have a vested financial interest.
- The condominium manager works for the condominium corporation. They take direction from the condominium’s board of directors and not owners or tenants.
- The condominium corporation has a relationship with the owner. There is no relationship between the condominium corporation and tenants.
- The owner has a relationship with their tenant. When issues or concerns arise, the tenant should be in contact with their landlord.
If a tenant has an issue or concern with the unit they are renting, common areas or rules being applied to them, they should speak with their landlord.
