  • Individual ownership and title of your Unit, parking spot, and locker (if applicable)
  • Communal ownership and maintenance of the common elements, which are shared by all Home Owners in the condominium.
Disclosure Statement

Interim Occupancy

This is the period of occupancy prior to being in receipt of the formal title to your condominium unit.

Occupancy Fee

This is a monthly occupancy fee which is calculated (and cannot be greater) than the following amounts.

  1. Interest calculated on a monthly basis on the unpaid balance of the purchase price of the Unit. The rate of interest charged is based on a prescribed rate being the rate of interest that the Bank of Canada has most recently posted for a conventional one year mortgage as of the first of the month in which the purchaser assumes interim occupancy of the Unit.
  2. An amount reasonably estimated on a monthly basis for municipal taxes attributable to the Unit.
  3. The projected monthly common expense including maintenance and utilities contribution for the Unit described under the Budget Statement provided to you with the condominium documents (based on the residential unit and any parking or locker units).
Maintenance Fees

Maintenance fees are billed on a monthly basis for the management, administration and insurance of the common element spaces. Each Home Owner's share of these expenditures is set out in the budget which is included in your Condominium Documents. The fees vary according to project, amenities, and unit square footage. A portion goes into the reserve fund.
