Condo Act Alberta

At Beyond Insurance, we recognize the importance of staying informed about the Condo Act in Alberta and its implications for condo owners, tenants, and condominium corporations. Our team is dedicated to helping you navigate the complexities of condominium insurance while ensuring that you are well-protected and in compliance with the legislation.

The Condominium Property Act of Alberta governs the creation, operation, and management of condominiums in the province. It outlines the rights and responsibilities of condo owners, condominium corporations, and other stakeholders, as well as the requirements for insurance coverage.

Key Aspects of the Condo Act in Alberta:

1. Condominium Corporation Insurance: The Condo Act requires condominium corporations to obtain insurance for the common property, common areas, and individual units (excluding improvements made by the owner). This insurance covers risks such as fire, water damage, and other perils.

2. Individual Unit Owner Insurance: While the condominium corporation’s insurance covers the basic structure of individual units, it’s crucial for unit owners to obtain their own insurance policy to protect their personal belongings, any improvements or upgrades they’ve made, and personal liability.

3. Deductible Assessment: In the event of a claim, the condominium corporation’s insurance policy may have a deductible. The Condo Act allows the condominium corporation to assess the deductible to the unit owner(s) responsible for the damage, up to a maximum amount specified in the bylaws.

4. Standard Insurable Unit Description (SIUD): The Condo Act requires condominium corporations to have a clear description of a standard insurable unit, which outlines the fixtures and finishing for a basic unit. This helps clarify the coverage responsibilities between the corporation’s insurance and the individual owner’s insurance.
