Part 23 published on 01/09/08
Charges for bulk cable television service properly added to common expenses

?The corporation entered into a bulk contract with Rogers Cable Systems Limited for the supply of basic cable television services to all units.  The costs were charged to each owner as a common expense. Ms. Mancuso objected to paying for that service and withheld payment of that part of her common expenses. The corporation liened her unit. The Court held that the duties of the corporation, as described in its bylaws, “can reasonably include entering into contracts for the supply of services, such as cable TV or internet, to the unit owners”. The Court accordingly held that the amounts in question were properly added to the common expenses.
