Understanding the rules

Condo governing-document hierarchy

Ontario condominium requirements generally follow this order. A lower-level document cannot contradict one above it.

  1. Ontario lawThe Condominium Act, 1998 and its regulations apply across Ontario. Other applicable legislation may also govern a particular issue.
  2. DeclarationThe corporation’s foundational registered document, often described as its constitution.
  3. By-lawsGovern how the corporation is operated and administered.
  4. RulesRegulate use of units and common elements to promote safety and prevent unreasonable interference.

Policies and procedures explain administration or enforcement, but are not governing documents and cannot override the Act, declaration, by-laws, or rules.

This hierarchy is general information, not legal advice. The correct result can depend on the issue, the wording of the documents, and other applicable law.
