Unit Alterations
Any alteration that owners make to their units and/or to the common elements require both Management and Board approvals in order to verify that the alteration:
- does not contravene any rule or bylaw,
- does not prevent others from enjoying their units or the common elements,
- does or does not require registration on title,
- abides by all code, licensing, and insurance requirements.
The above applies regardless of the size or scope of the alteration. Examples of this include: painting the unit door, fixing a leaky faucet, changing the carpet or the A/C unit, renovations of all sizes, etc.
It is therefore important for owners to discuss the proposed alteration with Management before making any plans. Failing that, the alteration would be deemed illegal, and Management would undo it and charge back to the unit all labour, material, administrative, and legal costs it incurred.
For the following alterations, the Board will not approve any alteration unless it abides by specific specifications:
- Adding a Screen Door to the exterior unit door ▶.
- Changing the A/C unit on the balcony of multi-story units ▶.
- Changing the A/C unit of bungalow units ▶.
- Adding a Doorbell Camera to the exterior unit door ▶.
- Adding an electric charging outlet to a parking spot ▶.
Note that owners must still request Management approval even if the above specs are met.
