Enacted in 1976, the legislation describes the mandatory responsibilities of those who build and sell new homes in Ontario, and outlines the warranty coverage that builders and vendors are required to provide to new home and condominium buyers.
The Regulations describe additional warranties and provide detailed requirements for the registration of builders and vendors, and the enrolment of homes. The Ontario government, through the
Ministry of Consumer Services, has empowered Tarion Warranty Corporation to administer and enforce this legislation.
