How to order a Status Certificate
v The Condominium Act states: "The corporation shall give the status certificate within 10 daysafter receiving a request for it and payment of the feecharged by the corporation for it." 1998, c. 19, s. 76 (3).
v A Status Certificate is a legal document and takes time to prepare. We cannot do a “rush job”. Please allow proper lead time for preparation and subsequent delivery of this document. You will be advised when the package is prepared and ready for pickup.
v The cost of a Status Certificate is $100.00, payable to McCall Wynne Property Management Inc.
Payment options:
o The Site Manager will accept only certified cheques, bank drafts or money orders for payment. Cash will be accepted at McCall Wynne’s Whitby head office only.
o Personal cheques are not accepted, with the exception of Law firm cheques.
o An email money transfer to is an acceptable form of payment. Please provide the answer to the security question in a separate email.
v Your request for a status certificate must be in writing. The Certificate will be issued to the person making the request, unless otherwise instructed.
v You will find attached a form to fill out and return. Complete the information you have, leave blank what you are not sure of and update us later. You can fax or email the completed form to head office or give to your site manager.
v We do not typically send the Status Certificate electronically; it is only feasible to electronically send parts of the documents (certificate, insurance certificate, Reserve Fund Study, current fiscal year Budget and audited Financial Statements).
v All costs and arrangements for delivery of completed documents are the responsibility of the party requesting the documents.
v Once a certificate is issued, the information it contains is valid for the month in which it was issued. We do not provide updates. Your lawyer may request a new Certificate prior to closing, if necessary.
v It is the responsibility of the owner on record to ensure that we receive advice of transfer of ownership.
v The owner on record is responsible for the ongoing monthly condominium fees until we are advised by the purchaser's lawyer that the transfer of ownership has been completed. If you sell mid-month, your lawyer will make an adjustment upon closing for proportionate share of costs.
v If you pay your condominium fees by pre-authorized payment plan, you will not be removed until we have had a written request from you to withdraw you from the plan, or we receive confirmation of transfer of ownership. Fees will continue to be withdrawn on the first of the month otherwise. A written request for removal from the Pre-authorized payments must be received at least 10 business days before the first of the month, and/or closing the sale. If you do not provide written advice to remove you from pre-authorized payments and your fees are withdrawn after selling the unit, there will be a $25.00 service charge deducted from your refund. Refunds will be processed approximately 4 weeks after we are in receipt of transfer of ownership documents from the lawyers.
v Changes made by current or prior owners: be aware that if changes have been made to the common elements by current or previous owners, they must be removed or repaired, or approved by the Board of Directors and an agreement must be drawn up and REGISTERED ON THE TITLE OF THE UNIT so all successor unit owners are responsible to maintain and repair the changes.
a) The changes will be listed on your status certificate with instructions to remove, repair or register changes made. Prior to closing, you may have to ensure there is paperwork stating that you have:
a. Removed the changes;
b. Repaired any damages to the common elements;
c. Register the changes made to common elements. An agreement must be signed between the owner and the Corporation, defining the owner’s understanding that the Corporation will not accept responsibility for the changes to the common elements made by owners and all liability, cost for insuring, repairing and maintaining or removing changes must be borne by the unit owner and their successors and assigns.
d. Your lawyer can draw up this document and arrange for signatures and registration on title. Alternatively, McCall Wynne can have a 3rd party draw up the documents for you at a cost of $300.00 payable to McCall Wynne Property Management Inc. We will then obtain signatures of the owners and the Board, then have the 3rd party register the documents on title.
