Permitted Alterations Effective July 1st 2018

Permitted Alterations that Require a Section 98 Form:

Section 98 of the Condominium Act, 1998, (the “Act”) requires that for a unit owner to make any addition, alteration or improvement (hereafter, an “improvement”) to the common elements, the improvement must be:

a. approved by the board of directors of the condominium;
b. consistent with the provisions of the Act and the declaration of the condominium; and
c. the subject of an agreement entered into by the condominium corporation and the unit owner and the agreement must be registered on title to the owner’s unit.
These are not optional conditions. The failure to comply with any one of them renders the unit owner’s improvement to the common elements illegal.
Therefore, the first things to know about section 98 agreements are that where an owner makes any change to the common elements, such agreement must be in place and must be registered on title to the owner’s unit.
