Common Elements
Common elements may be covered under warranty for up to $50,000 times the number of units, to a maximum of $2.5 million. The common elements warranty takes effect the day the condominium corporation is registered. There is no warranty coverage for common elements condominiums or the common elements of vacant land condominiums (see Work and Materials for more information).

The Act recognizes the condominium corporation as the ‘owner’ of the common elements. Condominium unit owners who experience common element problems must write to their Board of Directors once the condominium is registered. The Board is responsible for bringing common element problems to the attention of the builder and Tarion, if necessary.

However, if the Board "Turnover Meeting" has not yet occurred, a unit owner may notify Tarion of common elements problems.

The Warranty Service Rules that came into effect for all new freehold homes and condominium units with a date of possession on or after October 1, 2003 do not apply to the common elements.
