Part 59 published on 01/09/2017
Owner obligated to pay for enhanced security system
The condominium corporation had installed additional security cameras in the stairwells in order to try to identify persons who were vandalizing the stairwells.
The camera footage revealed that the vandals were tenants of the defendant’s unit. The condominium corporation sought to recover its expenses (including costs incurred to repair the stairwells as well as charges for installing the cameras) from the defendant owner.
The Court confirmed the obligation of the owner to pay the corporation’s expenses (including the cost to install the cameras) and determined the amounts payable, as well as the corporation’s entitlement to costs of the proceeding.
