The Condominium Management Regulatory Authority of Ontario (CMRAO) released its second practice guide that delves into procurement and contractor oversight for condominium managers.

Licensees working in condominium management can expect practical guidance in:

• understanding their legal duty to repair and maintain condominium assets;
• prioritizing building issues in a strategic and transparent manner;
• navigating fiduciary obligations when procuring goods and services;
• establishing efficient and compliant procurement processes; and
• ensuring the protection of condominium clients’ best interests at all times.

The CMRAO developed the resource in collaboration with industry experts to support professional, ethical, and effective condo management in Ontario. Industry veterans and subject matter experts, Lyndsey McNally and Stacey Kurck, will present a companion webinar on September 4. The session will bring insights into the development of the guide, walk through key concepts, and offer real-world applications and best practices for condominium managers.

“The CMRAO is committed to continuing education and professional excellence in the condominium management profession,” said Ali Arlani, CMRAO Registrar. “That is why we are pleased to offer this resource. It equips licensees with the knowledge and tools they need to confidently oversee procurement and contractor relationships in a way that upholds public trust.”

The guide is a follow-up to the CMRAO’s  first guide, Financial Management: A Practice Guide for Condominium Managers, released in February 2025.
