How are complaints regarding condominium management in Ontario addressed?

1. By the Condominium Authority Tribunal.

2. By the local city council.

3. By the Condominium Ombudsman of Ontario.

4. By the Condominium Management Regulatory Authority of Ontario.

5. By the local court system.

6. By the Property Management Association of Ontario.

The correct answer is: By the Condominium Management Regulatory Authority of Ontario.

In Ontario, complaints regarding condominium management are addressed by the Condominium Management Regulatory Authority of Ontario (CMRAO). The CMRAO is responsible for regulating and overseeing condominium managers and management companies to ensure they comply with the established regulations and standards. They have the authority to investigate complaints, impose penalties, and take actions to rectify any issues related to condominium management. Option D is the correct answer because the CMRAO is specifically designated to handle complaints regarding condominium management in Ontario. Options A, B, C, E, and F are incorrect: A. The Condominium Authority Tribunal in Ontario deals with disputes related to condominiums, such as disagreements over common elements or condominium corporation by-laws, rather than complaints about condominium management. B. Local city councils do not typically have jurisdiction over condominium management issues. C. There is no Condominium Ombudsman of Ontario designated to address complaints regarding condominium management. E. While the local court system can handle legal disputes related to condominium management, it is not the primary entity designated for addressing complaints in this area. F. The Property Management Association of Ontario focuses on professional development, education, and advocacy for property managers, rather than handling complaints about condominium management.
