Condo Adviser, épisode 33 : Copropriétés et droits de la personne (Webinaire en anglais)

Condo owners and residents are required to comply with their condo's governing documents, which sometimes restricts some of their rights. In fact, condo corporations have a duty to take reasonable steps to ensure owners and residents do comply.  But what happens when someone cannot comply with these documents as a result of a disability or when someone seeks a valid accommodation? How does a corporation balance competing rights?  This is one of the most delicate balancing acts and one fraught with risks.
