These helpful guidelines outline work and material deficiencies in new homes and residential condominium units covered under the statutory warranty.

The purpose of the Guidelines is to provide advance guidance as to how Tarion will decide disputes between homeowners and builders about defects in work or materials. The Guidelines are intended to complement the Ontario Building Code and are supplemented by any applicable guidelines or standards produced by industry associations. They do not replace manufacturer warranties.

Note: In July 2017, Tarion launched a review of the Construction Performance Guidelines for New Homes and Condominium Units. For more information about the review, click here.
