Condo Buyer Guide
Selling a Condo in Ontario? Here’s Who’s on the Hook for the Status Certificate — and What Happens If a Special Assessment Lands Between Signing and Closing
Who actually orders and pays for a condo status certificate in Ontario, the seller or the buyer? Under Condominium Act s.76 any person can request one, the corporation must deliver within 10 days, and the fee is capped at 100 dollars including tax. In the standard OREA agreement the buyer requests it and the seller consents. This seller-side guide covers the representations you sign in clauses 7, 13 and 15, your duty to notify the buyer if a special assessment lands before closing, the buyer's right to walk, and whether to order a certificate before you list.
