1. Condominium Terminology

Annual Budget: Although not legislated, conscientious development of an annual budget is an important

duty normally required by law, of a condominium board. It is the basis upon which contributions are

levied and fund collected for the control, maintenance, and repair of the common property and the

administration of the condominium corporation.

Annual General Meetings: (AGM): Once per year, within fifteen months of the last, a condominium

board is required to convene and Annual General Meeting of unit owners. At the meeting, the retiring

board provides owners with operational and financial reports for the year past. Owners then elect a new

board, and deal with any unfinished and new business, including (if required) appointment of auditors.

Board of Managers: (Directors): In Alberta, a corporation’s executive is called a Board of Managers

(with proposed revisions, Directors.) The Act’s initial Appendix 1 bylaws, although replaceable, stipulate

a board of no fewer than three, except where are not more than two owners, and not more than seven

individuals.

Caveat: If a unit owner does not pay regular condo fees or special assessments, the condo corporation can

file a caveat against the title to the unit. The charge gives the same foreclosure enforcement rights as a

mortgage.

Condominium Corporation: When a plan is deposited with a land titles office, an administrative body is

automatically created. Membership in the condominium corporation is made up of the owners of the

individual units. Its purpose is the management of the affairs of the condominium in the best interests of

all owners.

Condominium Plan: Every condominium community has a plan, registered at a land titles office that

provides unambiguous definition of the perimeter of the master lot, the locations of the buildings, unit

boundaries, and the unit factor distribution. The document replaces the original single title with unit titles.

Common Property: Every part of a condominium plan that is not a unit is common property. The

condominium common property supports and services the individual units, and its ownership is

proportionately distributed among the unit owners in accordance with their unit factors.

Condominium Property Act: The name of the Alberta Statute that defines, directs, and regulates

condominium ownership. Since provinces have jurisdiction overland titles, each jurisdiction has its own

condominium legislation. Fundamental concepts are essentially identical. However, from one province to

the next, administrative technicalities may vary significantly.

Condominium Unit: Units are those parts of a condominium master lot, which are designated for the

private, exclusive use of individual owners. These Volumetric spaces whether structure defined

compartments of air, or columns of air are defined by boundaries shown on the condominium plan.

Page 4: Milano Condos CCN 1013144 Owners’ Policy

3

Condominium Fees: Condominium owners contribute to a fund for payment of common property costs

via assessments (whether normal operatives, reserve, or special) levied against their units. Contributions

are the proper term, but condo or condominium fee has acquired colloquial, although incorrect currency.

Disclosure Documents: A purchaser of a new or freshly converted condominium, you are entitled to an

extensive package of documents that includes estimates of operating costs. You are entitled to ten days

(rescission period) to review and accept these documents. In the case of condo resales, local real estate

boards belonging to the Alberta Real Estate Association have similar guidelines.

Estoppel Certificate: A certificate issued by a condominium corporation stating whether a particular

unit’s condominium fees are paid up to a date. A Clear estoppel certificate is important for a new owner

to have, because it forestalls any claim of unpaid fees by the condominium corporation.

Exclusive Use: Although forming part of the common property, decks, parking, storage and other spaces

are usually designated as exclusive use areas for residents of a particular unit only. Most by laws provide

the board with authority to manage such assignment, as it may from time to time consider appropriate

optional. A presumed or represented tenure, permanent or long term, should be verified and documented.

PLEASE NOTE: All parking within the underground parkade at Milano is titled, meaning that the

parking stall is legally owned by the owner of the unit to which it is associated, the parking stalls within

the underground parkade “are not” common property.

Officers: From its members, the Board elects an executive usually a President, Vice, Secretary and a

Treasurer. The President chairs meetings and often has a casting vote. The Vice performs the Presidents

duties in his or her absence. The Secretary ensures minutes of proceedings are kept and the Treasurer, that

property financial records are maintained.

Proxy: Written authorization given by a unit owner to another so that a person can act for the owner and

exercise the units voting share at a general meeting.

Reserve Fund: A fund of money set aside to provide for the repair and replacement of major parts of the

common property, the replacement reserve fund is usually held in secure, fairly liquid investments. It is

not intended to be used to cover regular or annually recurring maintenance.

Special Assessment: If a major repair or replacement is urgently needed, and the reserve fund cannot

cover it, the condominium board can impose special assessment on unit owners to raise the necessary

money.

Tenancy in Common: Condominium unit owners collectively co owns the common property as tenants

in common. The arrangement is a long established business like system for administering undivided

interests. In the absence of a written co-ownership agreement, common law provides for the accounting,

allocation, and collection of operating expense, and for reimbursement of expenditures that result in

capital enhancement. With condominiums, the plan and the laws, and the declaration in provinces, which

use this alternative document, are considered a contract between individual unit owners and the

condominium corporation.

Page 5: Milano Condos CCN 1013144 Owners’ Policy

4

Unit Factor: Unit Factor is the term used in the Alberta Condominium Property Act to define each unit

owner’s tenancy in common share in the common property. Unlike other jurisdictions, where a separate

factor regulates distribution of operating costs, the unit factor determines the proportionate contribution

obligation (condo fees). Proposed amendments to the Condominium Act will permit reasonable and

equitable adjustments, if authorized by a special (75%) majority.

This guide should be left in the Unit for a new purchaser or a new tenant.

6. Condominium Fees & Arrears

Condominium fees are set, typically one time each year, in accordance with the projected annual

operating budget.

Currently the fiscal year for the condominium is March 1, current year – February 28, next year.

Your individual monthly payment is calculated by taking the total projected annual expenses, dividing

that number by 10,000 unit factors, multiplying by your individual unit factor and dividing by twelve

months. (As per the Bylaws of the Corporation)

Payment of your condominium fees should be made preferably by pre-authorized payment.

Pre Authorized payment forms are sent with each new owner’s welcome letter and are also available from

the management company.

In accordance with the Condominium Property Act (Section 39), and the Bylaws of the Corporation, and

the Rules and Regulations of the Corporation; unpaid condominium fees will be dealt with as follows

unless otherwise stated:

Condominium Corporation No. 1013144

Fine for Noise Nuisance

Page 9: Milano Condos CCN 1013144 Owners’ Policy

If an owner (or occupants/guests of his unit) makes noise that is a nuisance or unreasonably interferes

with the use or enjoyment of any other owner or occupant then the offending owner shall be given one

warning, whether verbal or in writing. If the noise persists then the offending owner shall be charged a

fine of $250/occurrence or subsequent higher amounts in accordance with the Bylaws.

Please see Noise & Other Disturbances.

Bylaw section(s): 3i, 3m, 3o, 3q, 61a-ii

Fine for Bylaw Infractions

If an owner/occupant violates any of the Bylaws (e.g. unreasonable noise, litter left on common property,

pet droppings, pets running loose, etc.) the owner of the unit will receive a written warning indicating the

owner/occupant violation and the Bylaw reference. The following will apply:

In accordance with Section 42 of the Bylaws of the Corporation, the Board has adopted the following policy

and monetary sanctions against units in violation, after ONE written warning with respect to contravention of

ANY Bylaws of the Corporation.

In accordance with Section 42, the Corporation has the right to sanction as high as Ten Thousand Dollars

($10,000.00).

MONETARY SANCTION PROCESS

Supersedes all previous versions of this Policy

Updated March 2020

1. In accordance to the Condominium Property Act of the Province of Alberta, the process

for levying a Monetary Sanction is as follows:

● A letter of notice (FIRST LETTER) outlining the issue is sent to the Unit Owner (s) as well

as their Tenant (s). (It is imperative we have updated contact information in our database

system). Upon receipt of the notice and as stipulated with Milano Condominium

Corporation By-laws, a ten-day time line is granted for the issue to be addressed. First

notice can also be delivered by hand delivered notice to all residents on site.

● If a unit is found in non-compliance, (after ten-day time line) a second letter is sent out and

a $250.00 (two hundred and fifty dollar-monetary sanction) is then levied to the Owners’

Summary.

● Third letter is sent out. Another ten-day timeline is granted. Non-compliance results in a

$500.00 (five hundred dollar-monetary sanction) being levied. Continued non-compliance

will result in escalating amounts.

● A contractor may be hired to rectify any non-compliance issue with all charges being added

to the owner’s summary.

Page 10: Milano Condos CCN 1013144 Owners’ Policy

9

● If a tenant is continually in non-compliance, the board has the ability under section 54 of

the condominium act to have the tenant evicted.

Each sanction will be reviewed in detail and in accordance with timeline of the contravention. Sanctions will

be imposed given the severity of the contravention.

The amount of the Sanctions should not be alarming to those who do not intend to contravene Bylaws

repeatedly.

Any owner who wishes to appeal any sanction imposed against their unit, must do so in writing, to the Board

of Directors, through the management company.

Bylaw section(s): 3, 4, 18a, 5g, 5q, 42

Storage of items on a deck or patio In accordance with the Bylaws every resident is required to maintain

their front steps/patio or deck area in a reasonable manner and keep it free of debris and garbage. No

garbage bags should be left out on the deck/patio.

A good rule of thumb to use is that any items other than patio furniture, barbeques, and seasonal flowers

cannot be stored on a patio or balcony unless they are in actual use.

Awnings/Deck Coverings & Screen Doors

Awnings/Deck Coverings are not permitted. Screen doors may not be installed unless approval is granted

Page 13: Milano Condos CCN 1013144 Owners’ Policy

12

14. Fire Safety System

Two types of Fire Alarm systems exist within the condominium. The first is a ceiling mounted smoke

detector inside each unit. The detector is “not” battery operated but is instead hardwired into the electrical

system for the building for its power, this helps to ensure no loss of power due to a faulty battery. This

detector is “not” connected to the “building” fire alarm system, and only alarms within the unit should it

go off. In the event of an actual in unit fire, the unit resident or occupant etc. is required to pull one of the

common area hallways “fire system pull stations” to activate the main building fire alarm and warning

system. Each owner is requested to test their in unit detectors annually (at a min). Where a repair is

required, it is strongly suggested that a professional and licensed Fire Safety company be hired to address

any concerns, these costs are the unit owner’s direct responsibility.

The second system is the main building fire alarm system that ensures and provides protection of the

common areas (hallways, stairwells, parkade, boiler rooms, electrical rooms, etc.). This system is

inspected and tested annually.

In the event of any alarm being heard in “alarm” mode, it is important that 911 be called immediately for

the protection of all occupants and the building.

15. For Sale/Rent Signs

Signage may only be placed with the unit’s window, and may not be attached to the balcony, or placed in

or about the condominiums landscaping.

No signs are to placed at the entrance to Milano or in front of any apartment building or townhome.

Bylaw section(s): 61a-xvi, 61a-xvii

16. Gardening

All gardening is to be placed on patios/decks. No gardening shall take place in the common area.

Bylaw section(s): 61a-xiv, 61a-xix, 61a-xx, 61a-xxi, 61axxviii,

Page 14: Milano Condos CCN 1013144 Owners’ Policy

13

17. Homeowner Keys

The Condominium Corporation and the Property Managers do not have individual unit keys, nor are the

buildings on a master key system for the units.

If you require your trade, visitor, guest, etc. to have access to the condominium and/or your unit, you are

required to provide them access and/or be available in person to meet them.

For fire inspections (apartments), neither the Board or Property Management Company will hold keys.

Do not give out copies of the building keys to people that are not living in the unit as it presents a security

issue.

18. Mailboxes

Mailboxes are located in the lobby of each apartment building. Canada Post maintains the mailboxes for

townhomes and Astoria for the apartments.

When you purchased your unit you should have received a mailbox key from the previous owner.

For security reasons, the Condominium Corporation and the Property Manager does NOT have a copy of

your mailbox key. The lock and lock assembly remain the owners’ responsibility for upkeep, repair &

maintenance.

If there are issues with mail delivery, you should contact Canada Post at www.canadapost.ca or 1-866-

607-6301.

Bylaw section(s): 61a-xxiii-I

20. Moving Policy

2. All move ins & move outs are subject to a $250.00 move in/out damage deposit, also to be paid via the

responsible for cost of repairs. All costs will be levied against the unit account.

Bylaw section(s): 61a-xxxiv

21. Noise & Other Disturbances

The police, being trained professionals, are better able to deal with these types of situations.

Noises, including loud music and parties, phone the non emergency CPS number at 403-266-1234. 911

should be called for fights or violence.

These incidents should be reported to Astoria’s office the next business day so that the offending unit can be put

on notice. In order to implement fines for violation of the Bylaws it is necessary for the offending behavior to be

witnessed. All complaints MUST be in writing.

All complaints must have a police case number or a log detailing the consistent behavior, duration and frequency

of the noise.

• Use a white noise machine, turn on the radio or television

• Take your dog with your when you go out

• Contact your vet or obedience trainer for suggestions

from the site.

Bylaw section(s): 61a-ii, 61a-iii

23. Refrigerator Water Lines

Owners are required to have the water lines inspected no less than in 6 month intervals, and are

2. The name and contact information of the tenant.

3. The tenant must complete and sign an undertaking, acknowledging that they will comply with the Act

and the Bylaws (Rules and Regulations passed by the Board).

30. Waste Removal

For the use and convenience of all residential owners, tenants, guests etc., onsite garbage and recycling

bins are located on the North and South ends of the complex.

1. All garbage must be bagged and the bag tightly fastened, then placed “into” the large dumpster. Please

do not leave it on the ground, beside the bin, or out in a hall for someone else to pick up.

2. Please do not leave old furniture and large items in or near this area.

Owners are responsible to remove these items to dump areas at their own expense. Owners must take old

furniture, appliances, construction material, tires and similar items to the dump grounds at their own

expense.

3. We encourage owners to recycle into the marked recycling bin(s) located in both sheds.

The garbage sheds are secured by a pin code combination lock. If you are a new owner or tenant, and do

not have the code, please email the Board at [email protected].

Please do not leave your garbage or on your deck/patio or at the front of the unit (common area hallway

for apartments) and the front steps for townhomes. This is a contravention of the Bylaws and offending

units will be sanctioned in accordance with the Sanctions enclosed.

Bylaw section(s): 61a-iii-D, 61a-xv, 61a-xxviii
