News items of interest to condo owners

• What happens when a condo owner refuses access to his unit?
• CRA introduces new rule to deter property flipping
• March is fraud awareness month

We find that our Individual members are some of the most engaged and active members of any membership category, and some of our most staunch supporters, whereas our condo corporation members and their unit owners are by far the most numerous of any membership category and the reason CCI exists. 
 

Because CCI Manitoba provides great value for the price of a membership.

• Should a condo corporation install E-vehicle chargers?
• Who is the real problem?
• What all condo directors should know
• What all real-estate agents should know

Condo changes are complicated

In this edition of Condo Conversation Corner, we have three topics of interest:

• What should a condo board director know?
• How does a condo board find a new property manager?
• What to do if a condo board is failing in its duties.
   

Some time this fall, the issue of short-term rentals (STRs) will make its way through the City of Winnipeg’s council chambers. The minutes from the Feb. 2 council meeting provided the details of the proposed regulations, while the proposed bylaw changes are described in the Reports section of the agenda of the Sept. 13 Standing Policy Committee on Property and Development Regular Meeting Minutes as “16. Zoning By-law Review - Phase 1.” The subsequent step in the process was item 2 in the Reports section “Regulating Short-Term Rental Accommodations” in the Oct. 17 Executive Policy Committee Regular Meeting Minutes.” 

We are continuing to receive suggestions to improve the Provincial condo act (The Act) https://web2.gov.mb.ca/laws/statutes/2011/c03011e.php and the associated regulations https://web2.gov.mb.ca/laws/regs/current/164-2014.php?lang=en and we thank you wholeheartedly for your efforts.
