Who acts
Decide the water facts. Then open the bylaws.
This is not a ruling on Alberta condominium law. In practice, files stall because people argue responsibility before anyone has named the pipe.
The finding should name a location, not a person.
‘Supply line in the north wall of suite 302, accessed from the bathroom cabinet’ is useful. ‘The owner was careless’ is not a source.
Common elements and unit boundaries are document questions.
The corporation’s registered documents define those lines. A leak investigator records where water was, not where a lawyer would draw the line.
Action can start before blame is settled.
Stopping water, drying safely, and protecting occupants do not require a finished responsibility debate.
Questions people ask
If it is in the wall, is it automatically the corporation?
Not something this page can decide. Walls can contain unit lines and common lines. The documents and the finding have to be read together.
Should the board wait to call until responsibility is clear?
No. Active water does not wait for a bylaw review.
