How Condo Boards Can Avoid Costly Contract Mistakes

In this episode of #WeSpeakCondo, Nicholas speaks with Antoni Casalinovo from Deo Condominium Law about contracts in condominium corporations. They discuss service agreements, construction contracts, CCDC contracts, one-off work orders, unionized security and cleaning contracts, auto-renewal clauses, termination rights, change orders, liens, bonding, payment schedules, and the role of lawyers, engineers, and consultants in protecting the condo corporation. Anthony also explains why condo boards should be careful with informal approvals, unclear scopes of work, purchase orders, long-term service agreements, and financing arrangements that may require a borrowing bylaw. A valuable episode for condo board members, property managers, condominium owners, contractors, consultants, and anyone involved in Ontario condo operations.
