This is different from a landlord-tenant dispute — it's about your own condo corporation or strata council. Only Ontario and BC have a dedicated tribunal; here's what to do everywhere else.
By Province
Ontario
Raise it with your condo board or property manager first. Most disputes over records, governance, or nuisances (noise, smoke, pets) can go to the Condominium Authority Tribunal (CAT), filed online.
Condominium Authority of Ontario — 1-800-854-9014 →British Columbia
Most strata property disputes go through the Civil Resolution Tribunal (CRT) — apply online or by email.
CRT Strata Property — 1-844-322-2292 →Alberta
No dedicated condo tribunal. Disputes under the Condominium Property Act typically go through mediation, arbitration, or the Provincial or Court of King's Bench, depending on the amount and issue.
Quebec
No dedicated tribunal for co-ownership (copropriété) disputes. Claims up to $15,000 go through Small Claims Court (Cour du Québec); larger or more complex disputes go through Quebec Superior Court.
Other provinces
Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and the Atlantic provinces have condominium legislation but no dedicated tribunal — disputes generally go through the small claims or provincial court. See ComplaintCA's small claims court guide for your province's limits and filing site.
