Declaration
A Condominium Declaration, also sometimes known as Master Deed, is a fundamental document that establishes the existence of and further governs the use and maintenance of a condominium property. It is regulated by the Condominium Act and it includes legal descriptions of the condominium and of each individual unit, the nature and scope of the development project (when applicable), and several provisions regarding the use of the condominium units and common areas.
It is important to be able to have an insight into the provisions making up the Condominium By-Laws and Declaration before buying a property in order to make the most informed purchase decision.
