Owners ordered to stop non-urgent unit renovations during pandemic
One of the units had been undergoing renovations and the condominium corporation learned that the owners had allowed painters to enter their unit despite physical distancing protocols established in the province (as a result of the coronavirus pandemic). This was particularly concerning for the condominium corporation given that the majority of its residents were seniors.
The condominium corporation sought an urgent injunction to prevent the owners from having third party contractors enter the condominium building on an interim basis during the pandemic.
The Court agreed to hear the matter on an urgent basis and granted the requested injunction.
