In the latest issue of Condo Voice Magazine, Denise Lash discusses the potential liabilities that condominium corporations face in relation to swimming pools and hot tubs in condominiums.

The Condominium Act provides that for the purposes of occupiers’ liability, the condominium corporation is the occupier of the common elements and therefore is bound by the Occupiers Liability Act with respect to the common elements.

Denise recommends steps that condominium corporations can take to minimize risks.  In addition, they also provide suggestions for condominium corporations to improve their current rules.

Condominium Swimming Pools: Potential Liability for Condominium Corporations was published in the Winter edition of the quarterly print publication.
