Tips to the Second Round of Amendments!
Although we are all just getting used to the First Round of Amendments, we thought we would give everyone a head start getting to know the Second Round of Amendments.
Tip #1: As of February 1, 2018, condo managers will have increased disclosure obligations with respect to contracts or transactions or proposed contracts or transactions to which their clients are party to.
These new obligations will not apply to any contract if it was entered into before February 1, 2018, unless the contract is amended, extended or renewed on or after February 1, 2018.
The CMSA outlines how and when a condo manager must disclose their interest, so pay careful consideration to these new disclosure obligations and procedures!
