Condominium corporations may hire a condominium management company or condominium manager to oversee the corporation’s day-to-day operations. Under the Condominium Management Services Act, 2015 (CMSA), individuals and businesses that provide condominium management services in Ontario must hold a licence issued by the CMRAO.
All licences issued by the CMRAO must be renewed annually. For the 2020-21 licensing year period to apply for renewal and pay the annual licensing fee begins on August 1 and ends on September 8. Licensed individuals and companies can continue offering condominium management services as long as they submit their renewal applications and fees by September 8, 2020.
The role of a condominium manager involves a range of important responsibilities, as well as obligations and requirements set out under the CMSA.
