Condominium dispute resolution engagement

Gathered input to improve Alberta’s condominium dispute resolution process.

Overview

We gathered input from Albertans to help us build an effective and affordable system to resolve disputes between condominium owners, managers, boards and corporations.

To develop a fair condominium dispute resolution tribunal without unnecessary red tape, the engagement explored the following topics:

  • tribunal funding, including yearly contributions from owners and user fees
  • resolution processes
  • public disclosure of decisions

Under the current system, backlogs in Alberta courts, court system complexity and a lack of affordable dispute resolution processes prevent the condominium community from efficiently accessing justice.

Previous consultations identified the need to create a tribunal – an overseeing body that would hear disputes and help resolve them through negotiation, mediation or adjudication (judgement).

Timeline

  • Open

    October 6 to November 22, 2020

Outcomes
