Owner ordered to cease and desist harassing communications
This case dealt with an owner described as “a habitual e-mail writer and a frequent complainer”. She sent emails to the condominium corporation’s staff and management representatives, virtually every day. Her emails included insults, body shaming, name calling, and other types of course language and rudeness.
The Court found this dialogue to be in violation of section 117 of the Condominium Act, the rules of the condominium, and the Occupational Health and Safety Act.
The Court ordered as follows:
Accordingly, the Respondent shall cease and desist from uncivil or illegal conduct that violates the Condominium Act, or Rules of the Applicant. The Respondent shall also refrain from verbally or in writing abusing, harassing, threatening, or intimidating any employee or representative of the Applicant, and shall comply with section 117 of the Condominium Act by ceasing to conduct herself in a way that is likely to cause injury to an employee or representative of the Applicant.
The owner was also ordered to pay costs to the condominium corporation, fixed at $15,000.
